Configuration of FPGA Through Internal Configuration Access Port
Asha Jadhav, Pravin N. Matte, Pranav Chippalkatti · 2018
FPGAs have become increasingly common in recent years due to their high performance compared to processors running software The ability to manage FPGA configuration memory state is essential for a wide variety of applications. Since the configuration memory is what dictates the functionality of the FPGA circuit, maintaining or modifying its state is often vital. An important domain that needs such an interface is maintaining FPGA reliability. FPGAs provide a number of mechanisms for configuration including the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) standard, SelectMAP, the Internal Configuration Access Port (ICAP) and the Processor Configuration Access Port (PCAP). Since this paper contribute the study of such interfaces to configure several FPGAs with standard methods and compared.
