Matrix Glitcher 360, Requirements...Xilinx Jtag Programmer Cable Options

[isnemid]

Impact gives me 1579 expected idcode: 0000011011xxxxxxxx error
gcprog doesnt work for me.
It gives me sorry, the chip is not compatible yet and sorry, unable to indentify the current firmware.
Tested with 2 cables on xp pc

I'm at a sad stand still...Will not get recognized through Labs. I got it Somewhat recognized with The Glitchip Prog. But it Can not identify it and says an error in ref to TDO Being stuck at 1. I'm Thinking maybe remake the jtag cable?

Im having the exact same problem..WTF?? And im sure bmy cable is all good, checked and checked again.

Anyone know what the problem is here?

[ravendrow]

alot of people including myself have been having a problem with that error trying to program over LPT i just had to shell out $50 on a usb programer from digilent

[Povo]

So what's the problem? The Matrix Glitchers are faulty?

problem likely lies in the homebrew programmer they are making. its not going to work on everyones computer. best bet is to atleast get a proper buffered jtag programmer for xilinx. they are only $10-15 after all

Also try the programmer with only the one 3k3 resistor on the vcc line. Thats the one i had to use and it worked perfectly for my homemade glitch board and matrix chip. The one with all the resistors and diodes wouldnt program either one.

edit: Here it is.

Ebay lpt programmer doesn't work either.

That one doesn't detects the programmer at all.

It might. I built that same cable when the GliGli cable wouldn't work for me and it worked first try.

i know this sounds like a stupid question but. do i leave the 2 power connections that go from my dvd drive cable to the glitch chip soldered on after programming ( for ever) or do i unsolder them when iv programed my matrix glitch chip, and soldered the other connections on?

thanks

hey what diagram did use to build ur cable

This one:


This is what it looks like finished:


I have images suitable for toner-transfer if anyone wants to build their own. There's less than $5 in parts in it, and I'll make a thru-hole pcb image if anyone wants (provided they ask nicely).

Remove the cables, they only have to be there for programming. Better still, attach them to your programming cable (if you don't need them elsewhere), 2 less connections to solder/unsolder.

For anyone having problems with the matrix glitcher, I just installed mine in my falcon.

Make sure you have a good ground and 3.3V. First I ignored this advice and put only one wire for each and it didnt work. It would just sit there... I could hear that it was reseting (the fan speed was changing).

Now I have two wires from J2B1,7 to VCC. For the GND I also have two wires, one from J2B1,12 and one from the metal fins of the video connector.

Now the glitch works perfectly everytime in under 5 seconds.


And for the programming I made the cable from gliglis schematic and I used "360gcProg v1.1" to flash the chip - worked like a charm.

I can post pics if it would help anyone...

please someone help?
iv manageged to flash my nand , (eventually) and made my jtag cable to program my matrix glicher, it connects using 36gcprog 1.1 but says unsupported chip, and i can connect with xlinx lab tools, but i keep getting errors when trying to flash. i dont know if its the bsd file im using or what but my chip just wont program! please help oh wise ones
oh and my box is a phat jasper 512. also the instructions are for a trinity (if that makes a difference)

and in xlink i get deviceid not the same. or deviceid not the expected device id. (or somthing)
and the 2 sets of numbers from the bsd file and the jasped.jed file are always different to each other

thanks

The 36gcprog 1.1 gave me an error also...about not being supported, but just click ok and it will flash it.

The only problem can be with the cable (did you make it yourself?), or maybe you are not getting enough juice to the chip, check your 3.3V power source.
