SiFive Arty FPGA Dev Kit
This article describes specifics for the SiFive Arty FPGA Dev Kit.
Preparing for J-Link
The SiFive Arty FPGA Dev Kit does not come with a standard debug connector but populates the debug JTAG signals on a custom connector. Therefore, it needs to be manually wired in case J-Link shall be connected to it.
In the following, it is described how the pins of connector JD on the ARTY board needs to be wired to J-Link. All pins of the J-Link side refer to the standard 0.1" 20-pin connector of J-Link.
| Pin ARTY | Pin J-Link | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13 | TDO |
| 2 | 3 | nTRST |
| 3 | 9 | TCK |
| 7 | 5 | TDI |
| 8 | 7 | TMS |
| 9 | 15 | nRESET |
| 11 | 4 | GND |
| 12 | 1 | VTref |
Note: The pins on the JD connector are numbered as follows:
| 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 |
