Some years ago, a XILINX project was "Designed by Jens Hildebrandt, University of Rostock/Germany, 2002", as it says. The purpose of this piece of work was to enable one, by means of a CPLD, to program a FLASH memory via an ASYNC serial link, and, after changing the state of RTS, to use that FLASH memory to provide the bitstream and controls to program a XILINX FPGA.
Unfortunately, the portion of this that I received did not specify anything about the external interface.
Has anyone had experience with this project, to the extent that it's been implemented? If so, can you advise me as to how this scheme can be implemented in hardware?
thanks in advance
