Product Description
SmartLynq is a high performance JTAG cable for high-speed FPGA and flash programming, hardware and software debug, and performance analysis.
This cable delivers:
- Up to 40Mbps throughput
- Ethernet host connection for remote access
- USB 2.0 host connection
- Faster embedded software debugging
- Support for Linux and Hypervisor aware debugging
- 8 GPIO for additional debug signals
The SmartLynq Data Cable is backward compatible with the Platform Cable USB II through a standard PC4 JTAG header connection to the target board. It provides higher throughput than previous generation cables, allowing for faster programming and debug. It is compatible with the Vivado™ Design Suite, Labtools, and AMD Software Development Kit.
