In the past decade, the size and complexity of manyFPGA designs exceeds the time and resourcesavailable to most design teams, making the use andreuse of Intellectual Property (IP) imperative.However, integrating numerous IP blocks acquiredfrom both internal and external sources can be adaunting ch ...
This application note explains the XC9500™/XL/XV Boundary Scan interface anddemonstrates the software available for programming and testing XC9500/XL/XV CPLDs. Anappendix summarizes the iMPACT software operations and provides an overview of theadditional operations supported by XC9500/XL/XV ...
This application note describes how to retrieve user-defined data from Xilinx configurationPROMs (XC18V00 and Platform Flash devices) after the same PROM has configured theFPGA. The method to add user-defined data to the configuration PROM file is also discussed.The reference design described in t ...
This application note provides users with a general understanding of the SVF and XSVF fileformats as they apply to Xilinx devices. Some familiarity with IEEE STD 1149.1 (JTAG) isassumed. For information on using Serial Vector Format (SVF) and Xilinx Serial Vector Format(XSVF) files in embedded pro ...
This application note provides a detailed description of the Spartan™-3 configurationarchitecture. It explains the composition of the bitstream file and how this bitstream isinterpreted by the configuration logic to program the part. Additionally, a methodology ispresented that will guide th ...
