Programming the Flash using iMPACT
The Qdesys demonstration bitstream must be loaded into the S6LX75T baseboard flash in order to
configure the FPGA. That process is covered in the following sections.
Locate the following zip file in the downloaded archive. This can be found in the archive downloaded at
the beginning of this guide during the QDESYS MC Manager GUI Installation (step 4).
Archive Name: qdesys_demo_files.zip
File name: lx75t_mc_rel_c2_0.47.0.zip
URL: http://em.avnet.com/spartan6motor (click Support Files & Downloads)
Extract the lx75t_mc_rel_c2_0.47.0.zip file to your host PC. You will use the “.mcs” file for programming
the flash.
Download the FPGA bitsream to the on-board flash
1. Open the Xilinx iMPACT programming tool at Start  All programs  Xilinx ISE Design Suite
ISE Design Tools  64 Bit tools  iMPACT (path may differ slightly for non-Windows 7
versions of Xilinx tools)
2. Double-click “Boundary Scan” in the IMPACT Flows window
3. Select File  Initialize chain
4. Now Right click on the device and select add SPI/BPI Flash and then select the file
“s6lx75t_spi_prom.mcs” (found in the lx75t_mc_rel_c2_0.47.0.zip archive you extracted)
5. Click ok and select the flash: N25Q128 in the drop down menu.
6. Right click on the FLASH device on top of the green Xilinx device and select program. The flash
will be programmed with the .mcs file.
You are now ready to run the demo!
