Spartan 3 configuration - gopal_amlekar - 2010-02-03 03:40:00

Hello,

Few days back, I got a good help from this forum about CPLD programming.
I have succeded in making my own design based on a microcontroller toconfigure a spartan 2 as well as to program XC95108 CPLD.

Now I am moving to Spartan 3 and struggling with it. A very good documentfrom Xilinx about Spartan 2 configuration is XAPP188 (Specifically table 7on page 11) which lists steps to be taken while configuring Spartan 2.

I did not find such clear information about Spartan 3. Does anyone knowmore details about the steps for spartan 3?

I have already referred to their Spartan 3 configuration guide UG332 but itis slightly confusing.

I also tried the way XC3Sprog is implemented but it did not work.

Please let me know if you know anything about it.

I can share information about spartan2 and xc95...

Thanks and regards,

I got it.

Spartan 3 needs a Jprogram instruction before config_in instruction.Spartan 3 has a 6 bit IR Vs 5 bit IR of Spartan 2.

Rest of the things are almost similar or same.

Thanks..
