| Direct SPI configuration is supported only up to Xilinx iMPACT version 11.x. See Xilinx AR#36156. Available only for TE0300 (through J3 SPI interface) and TE0320 (through B2B connection). |
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.

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.
