Programming the FPGA, CPLD, or Platform Flash PROM via USB
R
The programming software again prompts for the PROM type to be programmed. Select
xcf04s and click OK, as shown in Figure 4-25.
Before programming, choose the programming options available in Figure 4-26. Checking
the Erase Before Programming option erases the Platform Flash PROM completely
before programming, ensuring that no previous data lingers. The Verify option checks
that the PROM was correctly programmed and matches the downloaded configuration
bitstream. Both these options are recommended even though they increase overall
programming time.
The Load FPGA option immediately forces the FPGA to reconfigure after programming
the Platform Flash PROM. The FPGA’s configuration mode pins must be set for Master
Serial mode, as defined in Table 4-1, page 27. Click OK when finished.
