Programming FPGA firmware/flash
FPGA firmware bitstreams reside in the /Firmware folder
- Connect the Xilinx Platform Programmer cable to the FPGA board (using the 14pin dual row ribbon cable, follow the polarization tab)
- Using Xilinx Vivado, open hardware manager
- Connect to the cable and make sure the XC7A200T FPGA is seen.
- Right click and add a configuration memory to the FPGA (Choose: Micron, 256Mb, SPIx1, +1.8V chip)
- Add the .bin bitstream file from the /Firmware folder and program (normally the erase, program, verify steps should be enabled).
