writing with impact to eeprom

May 02, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I want to write my bitstream into the eeprom of my V2 Board. In my jtag chain in impact a xcf04s gets listed. However I can do only things like erase, get device id, etc...



There is an option "assing new configuration file", but I don't know where I can find one.



For the FPGA it was possible to assign a *.bit file, which I have. But the eeprom only accepts mcs,exo,isc and bsd files, which I don't have.



regards, Benjamin


Benjamin,

To program a PROM you must first convert your source bitstream to a PROM file. You can do this using iMPACT. Use the wizard to guide you through the process to generate a programming file and then create a PROM file (typically MCS format). When you have that file, go back to configuration mode and assign the MCS file to the device

Hi Glenn,

thank You. It works like a charm.
