Figure 6. Microcontroller State Machine.
At power-up or on a TIM Reset or on a nConfig line going low, the state machine
goes into an INIT State. TIM Reset and nConfig lines are available on the carrier
module – see TIM Specifications for location on TIM connectors).
From there, it has two choices depending on the state of the FPGA (configured i.e.
DONE pin high or un-programmed i.e. DONE Pin Low). To configure the FPGA,
simply send a Start Key followed by the bitstream and then and End Key. To re-start
the FPGA with the current bitstream loaded, simply send a End Key.
Start Key = 0xBCBCBCBC and End Key = 0xBCBCBC00.
A TIM Reset can be issued to reconfigure the FPGA at anytime, but may reset other
modules as well. In the case of reconfiguring a particular module, the nConfig line is
used.
