Hi,
I have an FPGA design that works from JTAG, and now I want to burn a serial flash chip so it will configure itself at powerup. The mode pins should be right for serial self-load, and we'll be using a standard serial flash chip, an M25P16. We have a B&K USB flash burner.
I've read the Altera lit and it's not entirely clear to me, so I'd appreciate some help.
What Altera file format should I use to burn the serial flash chip? RBF? RPD? Should I tell the programmer to swap ends on bytes or words?
Thanks
John
