Appendix C
Restoring the Golden FPGA
Configuration
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 of 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 latest Golden configuration file can be obtained from the XUP Virtex-II Pro
Development System support Web site at:
This configuration file is used to verify the proper operation of the complete system.
1.
Download the XUP_V2Pro_BIST.zip file and extract the files to a directory of your
choice. The ZIP file contains two files:
♦
XUP_V2Pro_BIST.mcs,
the data file that will be loaded into the PROM, and
♦
XUP_V2Pro_BIST.cfi,
a file that describes the design revision structure in the
PROM.
2.
Make sure that the XUP Virtex-II Pro Development System is powered up and that
either a USB cable or a PC4 cable connects the board to the PC that is running the
iMPACT software.
