Programming Colorlight-5A-75B using Bus Pirate with OpenOCD:
sudo openocd -s /usr/local/share/openocd -f buspirate-flash.cfg
Programming Colorlight-5A-75B using STM32 + DirtyJTAG with UrJTAG:
Programming Colorlight 5A-75B (15$ ECP5 FPGA board) with 2$ STM32 "Blue Pill"
based JTAG adapter is fun. Thanks to DirtyJTAG and UrJTAG! The Blue Pill
might be the cheapest JTAG programmer around (< 2 USD on AliExpress)?
Flash DirtyJTAG firmware to Blue Pill (STM32F103C8T6):
st-flash write dirtyjtag.bluepill.bin 0x8000000
DirtyJTAG Pinout:
The bluepill build of DirtyJTAG has the following pinout:
| STM32 | JTAG |
|---|---|
| PA0 | TDI |
| PA1 | TDO |
| PA2 | TCK |
| PA3 | TMS |
| PA4 | TRST |
| PA5 | SRST |
Run blinky example on the FPGA:
$ sudo jtag

Done ;)
This works but I have no idea what many of these things are. Time to learn... ;)
