FPGA Configuration

The Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA on the TE0300, Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP FPGA on the TE0320, Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA on the TE0630 can be configured in the following ways:

• B2B connector
  • JTAG
  • Slave Parallel (SelectMAP)
  • Slave Parallel
• 6-pin JTAG header connector
• USB connector (in fact, SPI Flash memory is used)
• SPI Flash memory (see the next section)

• Direct programming by USB controller (usually done by Firmware Upgrade Tools like Python OpenFut and C# OpenFutNet).

• Indirect SPI programming via FPGA pins, controlled by JTAG (can be done using Xilinx iMPACT). See Appendix A. Indirect SPI Programming using iMPACT.

• Direct SPI programming by FPGA, using an SPI core (FPGA project should contain SPI interface core and software to work with it: only if iMPACT GUI is version 11.x or below, see Xilinx AR#36156)).

SPI Flash can be programmed using the following connection:

• USB connector
• B2B connector
  • JTAG
  • Slave Parallel (SelectMAP)
  • Slave Parallel
• 6-pin JTAG header connector
