Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit - Why does the BIST Flash test fail when I use the default board settings?

Description

When I run the Flash test from the BIST application on my ML605 (or kit that includes the ML605), and the boards S2 settings are at the default setting ("001010") my test fails. 

Why does this happen?

Solution

S2 needs to be changed to "011010" (mode pins M2, M1, and M0 set to 110 for Slave SelectMAP mode) in order to communicate with the Platform Flash XL and pass the Flash test.
