• Read-back data: once all the memory has been filled-up, SMT390-VP will start
to output data on SHBs. Once all data have been sent, SMT390-VP will be
ready for a new acquisition.
Configuring the FPGA
The factory default for the FPGA configuration mode is using the ComPort 3.
Configuring the FPGA from ComPort 3 allows NOT USING any JTAG cables.
Having a direct link enhances debugging and testing, and therefore reduces the
product’s time to market.
The configuration data can be downloaded into a DSP TIM module external memory
along with the DSP application.
The bitstream is presented on ComPort3 and the microcontroller embedded on
SMT390-VP
provides the mechanism to deliver it quickly to the Virtex-II device.
Then, the configuration cycle can be transparent to the end user.
After configuration the ComPort3 can be available to the FPGA for data transfers.
