PLUTO JTAG ADAPTER

JTAG programmer for the PLUTOSDR evaluation kit from ADI.

Features

  • JTAG pins breakout from 1.28mm headers to 2.54 standard header pins for use with platform cable II or other external JTAG
  • Integrated FT2232 USB to sync serial controller, to serve as a JTAG + UART host (Still work in progress)

Known issues:

v1.0.0

  • VREGOUT and VREGIN should be floating but connected to 1.8V
  • VPHY and VPLL connected to 1.8V supply, should be connected to 3.3V through ferrite bead
  • FT2232 chip not working due to previously stated issues

Questions

How big is the Pluto jtag adapter PCB?

It measures 53 × 34.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pluto jtag adapter use?

64 parts, built around the 93LC46B/P, AP2112K-1.8, AP2112K-3.3 and FT2232HL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Pluto jtag adapter KiCad files?

From the teodor961/pluto_jtag_adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pluto_jtag_adapter/pluto_jtag_adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic pluto_jtag_adapter/pluto_jtag_adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pluto jtag adapter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask teodor961 before reusing the design.
