Diagram of the ZCU102 JTAG Chain

Updated: May 14, 2023



This post shows a block diagram of the Xilinx ZCU102 Evaluation Board's JTAG chain.


Here is the JTAG chain on rev 1.0 and 1.1 of the ZCU102 as derived form the schematics:

Diagram available at [link]. A collection of just the JTAG connections available at [link].


From the ZCU102 Evaluation Board User Guide:


Vivado, SDK and or third-party tools (and PetaLinux Tools?) can establish a JTAG connection to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device through one of the three provided JTAG interfaces:


1. Xilinx platform USB or cable PC4 connector (J8)

2. ARM 20-pin JTAG connector (J6)

3. Digilent SMT2.5 USB-to-JTAG module with off-module micro-USB connector (J2)


Note: Only one of these connections can be used at a time.


If no FMC cards are installed, then the switches are closed and TDI can flow through to TDO as seen in this diagram from the JTAG Wiki:

TDI (Test Data In)

TDO (Test Data Out)

TCK (Test Clock)

TMS (Test Mode Select)

TRST (Test Reset) optional
