Table 2–8

shows the flash memory map storage.

There are two pages reserved for the FPGA configuration data. The factory hardware
page is considered page 0 and is loaded upon power-up if the USER LOAD DIP switch
(SW4.4) is set to '1'. Otherwise, the user hardware page 1 is loaded. Pressing the load
image push-button switch (PB5) loads the FPGA with a hardware page based on
which CONFIG[2:0] LED (D11, D12, D13) is illuminated.

Table 2–9

defines the

hardware page that loads when the load image push-button switch (PB5) is pressed.
