Programming the Platform FLASH
PROM User Area
The XUP Virtex-II Pro Development System contains an XCF32P Platform FLASH PROM
that is used to contain a known “Golden” configuration and a separate “User”
configuration. These two FPGA configurations are supported by the design revisioning
capabilities of the Platform FLASH PROMs. The “Golden” configuration is stored in
Revision 0 and is write/erase protected, and the “User” configuration is stored in
Revision 1.
Programming the XCF32P Platform FLASH PROM is supported by iMPACT (v6.3.01i or
later) download software using Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1 /IEEE 1532) mode from either
the embedded Platform Cable USB (J8) or the PC4 cable connection (J27).
The.bit file created by the Xilinx implementation tools must be converted to an.MKS file
before it can be programmed into the Platform FLASH PROM.
1. Start iMPACT and select Prepare Configuration Files as shown in Figure B-1 .
