WP10 Implementation of a JTAG Master Controller for the reprogramming of the "User-FPGA"¶
Description¶
Regarding the extension of the project with the implementation of a JTAG Programming Master controller, the work package 10 includes the
- extension of nanoFIP's functional specification
- VHDL implementation of the Controller
- testing with VHDL simulations
- Bus Arbiter software developments
- testing on real hardware

In collaboration with CERN, TE-EPC, the deliverables are
- Updated nanoFIP functional Specification
- VHDL code that implements a JTAG Master Controller
- VHDL test bench that tests the JTAG Master Controller
- Bus Arbiter software
- Testbed
The estimated duration is
- Four manmonths
