I wanted to generate a set of .MCS files for a Xilinx XC2V3000 design, the board uses three XC18V04 PROMs in serial mode, the PROMs and the FPGA are on the same chain. I entered the prom config into Impact in File Generation mode, but my design is small (bit file is 1.5 MB in size), so the utility informed me that only one .MCS file is actually generated. Now back in JTAG mode, when I initialize the JTAG chain, it asks me to associate a file with each device, so I can put in the first MCS file into the first PROM, but what about the others? Can I just BYPASS them or do I need to do something else to make this work? I'm a bit paranoid about burning up the device, so I didn't want to try anything without asking here first. Thanks! -Jim
