11.2 iMPACT - Virtex-6 FPGA Indirect BPI Programming support
Description
When will Virtex-6 FPGA Indirect BPI Programming be supported? Is it supported in SVF mode?
Solution
iMPACT Indirect BPI Programming
Indirect BPI Programming for Virtex-6 devices is supported in ISE tools 11.2. for 1.1 and 2.0 Silicon. iMPACT JTAG programming of the FPGA is also supported for ES0 and requires the CONFIG STEPPING in UCF to produce a ".bit" file for correct target silicon.
SVF Indirect BPI Programming
Indirect BPI programming is not supported in iMPACT 11.2. Attempting to create an SVF in ISE tools 11.2 results in the following message in the console:
"INFO:iMPACT - '3781' : Boundary Scan File is not supported for BPI Device."
SVF mode indirect programming is added in iMPACT 11.3.
