FPGA Configuration (bitstream, SPI Flash)

The Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP FPGA on the TE0320 can be configured in the following ways:

• B2B connector
  • JTAG
  • Slave Parallel (SelectMAP)
  • Slave Parallel
• 6-pin JTAG header connector
• SPI Flash memory

For further information on Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP configuration modes, please consult the documentation listed in chapter 17 Related Materials and References.

The SPI Flash memory can be programmed in the following ways:

• B2B connector (SPI direct; only if iMPACT GUI is version 11.x or below, see Xilinx AR#36156)
• FPGA
• JTAG (SPI indirect)
• USB bus (Firmware/Bitstream Upgrade Tool)
