Before programming, choose the programming options available in

Figure 4-26

the Erase Before Programming option erases the Platform Flash PROM completely
before programming, ensuring that no previous data lingers. The Verify option checks
that the PROM was correctly programmed and matches the downloaded configuration
bitstream. Both these options are recommended even though they increase overall
programming time.

The Load FPGA option immediately forces the FPGA to reconfigure after programming
the Platform Flash PROM. The FPGA’s configuration mode pins must be set for Master
Serial mode, as defined in

Table 4-1, page 27

. Click OK when finished.
