Configuration of Virtex-II FPGA by Single-chip Through SelectMAP Mode
QU Haini · Microcomputer applications · 2005
Due to the weakness of FPGA that the configuration data will lose once the system power is off, reconfiguration of FPGA has become the first problem to be settled during its application. This paper introduces the performance characteristics of Virtex-Ⅱ FPGA and its configuration modes, and put the emphasis on SelectMAP mode. Besides, a configuration scheme with single-chip microcortsoller and FLASH is provided, which is easy to accomplish and suitable to occasions where no strict requirements on configuration speed is needed.
