• Mellanox MCP2M00-A002E30N Ethernet passive copper cable 25 GbE SFP28 2m, 30AWG Maintenance Port for UART and JTAG Access The T1 card has a connector that serves as a maintenance port for UART and JTAG access, located at the rear of the card (opposite side of the I/O bracket).
MPSoC ZU19 and RFSoC ZU21 are as specified by the specific image. JTAG The JTAG chain on the T1 card provides access to both the MPSoC ZU19 and RFSoC ZU21 devices and is automatically recognized by the Xilinx toolchain when a USB connection is present.
IMPORTANT! For these links to be detected, it is essential that x8x8 bifurcation be supported in the host server. The PCIe form-factor is FHHL with the high-mass retention PCB clip. UG1495 (v1.0) December 17, 2021 www.xilinx.com Send Feedback T1 Telco Accelerator Card User Guide...

The QSPI flash or the devices can also be programmed through JTAG using an ADK connector. The Xilinx tools must be installed on a computer and then connected to the T1 card through an ADK connector. An ADK connector is not part of the T1 card and must be obtained separately.

To complete the setup, connect the ribbon cable to the ADK card, then connect the ADK card to a micro USB cable so that it can connect to a computer that can run the Xilinx tools. The full connection is shown below.

USB cable going out the back of the server. This setup allows the USB to be connected to an external laptop running on the server. The Xilinx tools can be on the laptop or the server to program the devices on the T1 card.
The following describes using the how to use the Xilinx tools to program the QSPIs on the T1 card. Note: If you use this method, the Xilinx tools must be loaded on the server and it is necessary to connect an ADK connector for the programming using JTAG.
