Platform Cable USB II

The AMD Platform Cable USB II is designed for high-performance, reliable, and user-friendly configuration of AMD FPGAs, as well as programming of AMD PROM and CPLD devices. This cable optimizes direct programming of third-party SPI flash memory and indirect programming of parallel SPI or NOR flash memory through the FPGA JTAG port. It also serves as a cost-effective tool for debugging embedded software and firmware when used with AMD applications. This second-generation cable is an upgrade and backward compatible with the original Platform Cable USB, offering industry-leading performance and compatibility with both full-speed (USB 1.1) and high-speed (USB 2.0) ports.
