You must follow the procedure below.

Make sure that reset swith is enabled:

...

• S2 is switched to "Reset" (OFF) during programming (TE0300 module);
• S1D is switched to "Reset" (ON) during programming (TE0320 module).

Connect the host computer to the micromodule through both the SPI flying leads cable and the USB cable.

Start Xilinx ISE iMPACT. The following example shows the case of iMPACT 9.2. If the "iMPACT Project" window pops up, press the "Cancel" button.

Right click the "Direct SPI Configuration" panel to add a device and select "Add SPI Device".

You can now select the file corresponding to your device. In the following example, we will show how to select the micromodule reference device "blinking.mcs" in the "TE0300" folder.

and then write it the bitsream in the SPI Flash Memory (notice the match between the two progress indicators).

After successful programming, you should read the message "Program Succeeded" popping up for a few seconds in the "Direct SPI Configuration" panel.

Move Master Reset switch back to the "Run" position. Make sure that reset swith is disabled:

• S2 is switched to "Run" (ON) after programming (TE0300 module);
• S1D is switched to "Rin" (OFF) after programming (TE0320 module).

In case you uploaded the test design, you should see the on-board led blinking at 0.5 Hz.
