4.3. Configuring the FPGA from flash

The flash memory has space to store one encrypted or up to two non-encrypted configurations for the Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA.

Note

S2[1] no longer selects the image defined by the HDRZ signal FLASH_IMAGE but now enables the FPGA to access both memory banks for encrypted bit file support.

To select an encrypted bitfile on the HBI-1072C, set:

S2[1]

ON

S2[2]

OFF

To select a non-encrypted bitfile on the HBI-1072C, set:

S2[1]

OFF

S2[2]

Selects between image 0 and 1.

Table 4.1 shows the FPGA image selection options.

Note

The positions of the switches have no effect on the flash programming operation, only image selection on power-up.

See Application Note AN128 and Application Note AN170 on the Versatile CD for a description of the example lower and upper FPGA images respectively that are stored in flash when the LT-XC5VLX330 is shipped.
