Configuring the FPGA with the SPI Flash

In previous Xilinx FPGA configurations, the SPI flash required programming via 3

rd

party JTAG test

software or through in-system methods. The following features are new to ISE 9.1/9.2, and are only
available on select FPGAs, including the Virtex-5. Your FreeForm/PCI-104 card featuring the Xilinx
Virtex-5 FPGA includes a standard core to enable programming of BPI and SPI flashes over JTAG.
