XJFlash adds support for Cyclone V SoC devices
XJFlash, XJTAG’s ultra-fast flash programmer, now supports programming flash devices connected to Altera Cyclone V SoC FPGAs. The flash can be connected to the FPGA Fabric or the Hard Processor System (HPS) pins, and includes support for different flash types including many QSPI devices. […]
XJFlash adds support for Zynq-7000 devices
XJFlash, XJTAG’s ultra-fast flash programmer, now supports programming flash devices connected to the Zynq-7000’s Processing System (PS), including support for programming QSPI configuration devices. Flash devices connected directly to the Zynq-7000’s Programmable Logic (PL) are also supported. […]
XJRun – Command-line Test Runner
Most of our users will be familiar with XJRunner, our production test runner, but many perhaps will not be aware of the command-line version, XJRun, that also comes as part of the XJTAG installation. […]
Creating SVF files using Xilinx Vivado
Creating SVF files to program Xilinx FPGAs has historically been accomplished using iMPACT, installed as part of Xilinx’s ISE Design Suite. With Xilinx’s most recent FPGAs this is no longer possible and instead their new tool, Vivado, must be used. The following instructions guide you through this process and assume version 2016.1 or later of Vivado. […]

Assuming you're in maintenance, XJTAG will activate your account to enable access [...]
Common errors when updating files with the new XJEase Library
With the new XJEase Library we have made some fairly extensive changes to reduce code duplication, to improve test coverage, and ease of use. If you have used additional code files from the XJEase library to create your own test scripts you may find that updating to the new versions of these files causes errors in your project. Below are [...]
