Creating an MCS File and Programming the Alveo
Card
For custom RTL ow, this secon outlines the procedures to do the following:
• Create an MCS le (PROM image)
• Flash programming through the USB-JTAG (Micro USB) interface
Create an MCS File (PROM Image)
The Alveo accelerator card contains a Quad SPI conguraon ash memory part that can be
congured over USB-JTAG. This part contains a protected region, with the factory base image at
the 0x00000000 address space. This base image points to the customer programmable region at
a 0x01002000 address space oset.
To ensure that the PROM image is successfully loaded onto the Alveo accelerator card at power
on, the starng address must be set to 0x01002000 and the interface set to spix4 when
creang the MCS le. Details on adding this to the MCS le can be found in the UltraScale
Architecture Conguraon User Guide (UG570).
