9 ## Original Instructions
14 > the JTAG TAP interface on the *FPGA* is hard-coded silicon.
16 > the JTAG TAP interface connected on the processor and soft-implemented
17 > *by* the FPGA is likely completely inaccessible until someone
18 > allocates pins to "jtag_tdi/tdo/tms/tck" in the litex config.
20 > which means: someone's going to have to to through this file:
21 > <https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/master/litex/boards/platforms/ulx3s.py#L72>
22 > (which defines the pin allocations)
24 > and in this file do some Voodoo Magic on this file's TestSoC:
25 > <https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=soc.git;a=blob;f=src/soc/litex/florent/ulx3s85f.py;hb=HEAD>
27 > similar to these four lines:

30 > but instead doing something like... err....
32 > gpio0_pads = platform.reqiest("gpio", 0) # because back in ulx3s.py there's gpio 0, 1, and 2
34 > self.comb += self.cpu.jtag_tck.eq(gpio0_pads.p) # because again back in that file there are 2 pins, one named "p", one named "n"
36 > self.comb += self.cpu.jtag_tms.eq(gpio0_pads.n) # etc.
38 > and then request gpio1 for the other 2 pins
40 > theeeen you'll need to go back to that ulx3s.py litex platform file,
41 > look up the pin names B11, C11, A10, A11, and find out what the hell
42 > they are, whether they're suitable for use.
44 > if they are, then great! these are what you wire up the STLINKv2 to,
45 > according to what you decided to connect to just above.
47 > but for god's sake do not get this wrong, such as driving an input as
48 > an output or vice-versa, or wiring up 5.0V to GND with those
51 > do *NOT* randomly upload and power up the ulx3s until this has been
52 > THOROUGHLY triple-checked. or, you are entirely free to not bother
53 > and to end up learning the hard way by destroying the FPGA.

162 Luke do the labels of PCLK[C|T]0_[0|1] and GR_PCLK0_[0|1] have any significance? Should we be using the CLK labeled pins specifically for JTAG or specifically avoid using them for JTAG?
164 Additionally, does the note in the schematic about needing to swap EVEN and ODD pin numbers if using MALE VERTICAL header instead of FEMALE 90° ANGLED header apply to us?
