AMD / Xilinx Platform Cable USB II

AMD / Xilinx Platform Cable USB II offers integrated firmware to deliver high-performance, reliable, and user-friendly configuration of AMD / Xilinx FPGAs and programming of AMD / Xilinx PROM and CPLD devices. AMD / Xilinx Platform Cable USB II cable optimizes direct programming of third-party SPI flash memory devices. The device also provides indirect programming of SPI or parallel NOR flash memory devices via the FPGA JTAG port.

The Platform Cable USB II is a cost-effective tool for debugging embedded software and firmware when used with AMD / Xilinx applications. These applications include the Embedded Development Kit and ChipScope™ Pro Analyzer. The device is an upgrade to and backward compatible with Platform Cable USB, with industry-leading performance and compatible with Full Speed (USB 1.1) and Hi-Speed (USB 2.0) ports.
