Downloading the SPI Flash
Attach a JTAG Parallel Programming Cable
•
The following steps describe how to download the SPI Flash PROM.
SPI programming will typically use a JTAG parallel programming cable, such as:
•
•
These cables are not provided with the Spartan-3E Starter Kit board but can be purchased
separately, either from the Xilinx Online Store or from Digilent, Inc. (see
Resources,” page
First, turn off the power on the Spartan-3E Starter Kit board.
If the USB cable is attached to the board, disconnect it. Simultaneously connecting both the
USB cable and the parallel cable to the PC confuses the iMPACT software.
Connect one end of the JTAG parallel programming cable to the parallel printer port of the
PC.
Connect the JTAG end of the cable to Header J12, as shown in
location of Header J12 is more clearly shown in
connects directly to the SPI Flash pins; it is not connected to the JTAG chain.
The JTAG3 cable directly mounts to Header J12. The labels on the JTAG3 cable face toward
the J11 jumpers. If using flying leads, they must be connected as shown in
and
Via the FPGA’s JTAG chain, use a JTAG tool to program the SPI Flash connected to the
FPGA. See the link to the Universal Scan SPI Flash programming tutorial in
