Configuring the FPGA with the SPI Flash
In previous Xilinx FPGA configurations, the SPI flash would require programming via 3
rd
party JTAG
test software or through in-system methods. The following features are new to ISE 9.1/9.2, and are only
available on select FPGAs, including the Virtex-5. Your FreeForm/PCI-104 card featuring the Xilinx
Virtex-5 FPGA includes a standard core to enable programming of BPI and SPI flashes over JTAG.
Configuring the FPGA / SPI flash Association
1) Select “Boundary Scan” from the “Flows” tab.
2) Right click on the FPGA and select “Add SPI Flash…”
