problem with iMPACT and SPI flash

kensou · ‎09-17-2012

Hello everybody, I have a project for Spartan-6 FPGA, I had to program ita via .mcs connecting the FPGA with an SPI FLAHS, the SST 64 Mbit SPI Serial Dual I/O Flash SST25VF064C. But as I try to add the Flash ROM in iMPACT, I can't find anywhere the SST25VF064C in the avavilable devices!

There's a way to "extend" the list of SPI ROM for having the compatibility i need? Maybe a library or something similar... Thank you very much!

Suggest you open a webcase for Xilinx support on this problem.

Did you ever get an answer to this question.

I find myself in needing to program the SST25VF064C memory chip attached to a Spartan 6 device. I can't find any information about how to perform this operation successfully. The board is already designed and built, and I had no input into the design.

Thanks
