Hi, I'm currently trying to store non-voltatile data (32Mbits) in the flash memory connected to an FPGA on a protoboard (Nuhorizon's spartan3 to be specific), unfortunately I am not sure how to proceed.
I'm thinking perhaps I could program the FPGA to pass the data from the JTAG pins to the memory in either a serial or parallel manner, but for the moment this is simply a hunch and wouldn't know how to go about that. Can I simply send data via JTAG using Xilinx's iMPACT software?, I suppose I could also xmodem the data via RS-232, what seems to be the best method?
If you've encountered this problem before, know of a better solution OR (most importantly) could point me to relevent documentation, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
