JTAG Interface

On-board Interface

The JTAG boundary scan chain can be accessed via a standard header (J11).
This allows the connection of the Xilinx JTAG cable for FPGA debug and Flash programming via the Xilinx toolchain.

JTAG Voltages

The Vcc supply provided to the JTAG cable on the config header is +3.3V and is protected by a poly fuse rated at 350mA.

SATA Connectors

The ADM-VPX3-9Z5-RTM board has five standard right angle SATA receptacles for use with SATA compliant storage devices.
One of the SATA devices is connected to the PS side and the remainder are connected to the PL side.
