Board FPGA
The NanoBoard provides the ability to bootstrap the FPGA device located on the currently inserted
Daughter Board, at power-up. Program download to the FPGA is carried out using dedicated Flash
RAM.
On the instrument panel of the required NanoBoard Controller, click on the FPGA Boot button. The
Flash RAM Controller For FPGA Boot dialog will appear (Figure 3).
From this dialog, press the Read Electronic Signature button. This tests the communications link
between the NanoBoard Controller and the Flash RAM device. If communications are successful, a
value will be entered into the field to the immediate right of the button and the confirmatory message
“Device Found: M25P80 (8M-Bit Serial Flash RAM)” will be displayed.
The download process will proceed, with progress shown in Altium Designer's Status bar. At the end of
the download, which takes approximately 15-20 seconds for a Xilinx Spartan IIE-300 device, an
information dialog will appear confirming the end of the process.
