X5000 MCU Debug Cable
Just popping in
Just popping in


See User information
I want to order a 6 pin ftdi usb-ttl cable to log the MCU data on startup. Apparently the ftdi usb cable is offered in 3.3 volt and 5 volt versions. Which one is correct for attaching to the MCU debug header on the X5000 motherboard?

[EDIT] The information is on pages 24 and 36 of the Cyrus Technical Reference Manual - 3.3 volts.

Can you create a video or guide on debugging the MCU when you get the cable?

Sure, I'll put post the steps and how I get along with it. I just ordered the cable. Amazon says I'll should see it by 12/7.

I have an MCU connected to my X5000, and it has been very helpful!

I recently upgraded my FTDI device with this one from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RBKCW3S?p ... o2ov_dt_b_product_details

The connection was easy. The MCU header is labeled "DEBUG FTDI" and is located near the PCI connectors. The header has 6 pins.
The cable has 3 wires, Black, Green, and White. Here is how I have it connected:
PIN - Cable
1 - Black
4 - White
5 - Green

To access the MCU I use screen on Linux:

$screen /dev/ttyUSB1 38400

Here is some of the output:

Enjoy!

Didn't you have some issues with your X5? Did you resolve them?

I was having an issue with the machine randomly shutting down. The error message was coming out on the MCU:

>> ERROR: vdd_3v3_xorro out of range. Expected 3.30, got 2.96
WARNING: Supplies Turned off. Shutting down.
ATX supply turned off.

It looks like it was the PSU. I bought one of those excellent battery-powered air blowers and chased LOTS of dust bunnies away. After that, it has been much more stable.

Thanks for asking.

Talking cables!

I got my hands on the official XMOS USB dongle in 2021 and dabbled with it for a while on my X5000, Lyle Haze helped as much he could considering he's on the X1000.

Got it working but very unstable with the XMOS software(PC/Mac), dropouts here and there.

Anyone else tried and failed/suceeded?

Not exactly sure what you did. This dongle is a xtag debugger which you've connected to your xtag header on de X5000?

And then tried to do some development with xTimeComposer?

Exactly that!

But it was to glitchy to know if uploads was faulty or dongle was faulty or xTimeComp was buggy.

Jtag between cpld and xmos works well.

In case of an external debugger, the cpld needs to hi-Z some jtag signals and does buffer TDI as well.

I am afraid that this was never properly tested

If possible, you could try to lower jtag clock speed.

Thanks will try that when I find the dongle again,
been homeless and moved house since 2021.

It's somewhere in a box marked "Elektronik" ;).
