Re: iMPACT downloading bit and mcs files

Hi,

   When you say you cannot find the PROM, it is not showing up in your JTAG chain?  I assuem you performing an Initialize Chain in Impact?

    What PROM are you expecting to see?  XCF32P or another one of the Xilinx PROM?  What version of the tools are you uisng?

 

Regards,

Kyle

Please make sure that you are using the supported PROM. For details on supported flashes of XC3S4000 please refer to http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug332.pdf
