Sundance SMT148FX - Manual (Page 34)

11.3 Booting the Spartan and Virtex 4 from flash
Then set the switch SW4[4-3-2-1] = OFF OFF OFF OFF.
The Spartan and Virtex 4 will configure from Flash next time you issue a hard reset
or power on the SMT148FX.
Any Spartan design available flashes led 2 while the Virtex4 example design
provided flashes the whole raw of leds next to led2.
12 Firmware for the Spartan.
It can be found in: $\Program Files\Sundance\SMT6002\Firmware\Smt148FX
The default firmware “com.sundance.smt148-fx.sc3s1500.usb_default.app” present
in flash, enables default comport connections between TIM sites and a direct
connection between USB and TIM site 1 comport 3. The connections are represented
by Figure 2: Default bitstream comport configuration.
More firmware are available to allow different TIM connections.
The default_anticlockwise firmware
“com.sundance.smt148-fx.sc3s1500.usb_default_anticlockwise.app” provides the
same comport connections as before, but this time going from TIM1 to TIM4 to
TIM3 to TIM2 to TIM1.
The default_dual_TIM firmware
“com.sundance.smt148-fx.sc3s1500.usb_default.dual_TIM.app” provides the same
comport connections as before, but this time going from TIM4 to TIM1 to TIM2 to
TIM3 to TIM4.
For more advanced use, the SMT148-FX Virtex4 FPGA is available for customisation
A custom firmware for the Spartan to show that the Virex 4 can be part of the
network of processors in a Diamond application is provided with
“com.sundance.smt148-fx.sc3s1500.Tim2Cpld.app”.
The comport link used between TIM1 and the virtex4 is TIM1 CP0 to Virtex4 CP3.
(this link is only for configuration and not yet available as a valid link after
configuration…will be in the next release).
Another link is declared and can be used for communicaton once the application is
loaded. The connections made are TIM1 CP4 to Virtex4 CP1.
Feel free to make a Diamond application including a TIM on TIM site 1 and a design
on the Virtex 4.
Use the Diamond server to load the .app and you should see the virtex 4
configuring. (do not forget to check the SMT148-FX switches)
