Hi
I have a SparkFun Spartan3e development board which uses an ATMEL AT45DB161D serial SPI flash for configuration. Here is a photo:
I can program the FPGA using JTAG but can not figure out how to get ISE to program the SPI flash. All my attempts end with "Program Failed" messages. SparkFun has a utility to do this but they did not include direction on how to install and use the utility. Also this _should_ work from ISE, right?
Is anyone using this board? Any pointers on generating a .mcs file? Any pointers on how to program the SPI flash?
The Verilog project is just the four bit counter in the Xilinx tutorial.
thanks in advance Bob Smith
