Programming Modes
The Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGA we will be using on the SiPM control board can be programmed using any of several modes. This table, adapted from the User Guide, Table 2-1, shows the available programming modes and how to select them by setting the M[2:0] pins on the FPGA.
We will be using the master serial programming mode, since it is simplest to set up, requires fewer pins, and we don't need the higher speed of the a parallel programming mode.
| M[2:0] | Programming Mode | bgcolor="#33ff33"---- | <0:0:0> | Master serial (platform flash) mode |
| <0:0:1> | Master SPI mode | |||
| <0:1:0> | BPI up | |||
| <0:1:1> | Reserved | |||
| <1:0:0> | Reserved | |||
| <1:0:1> | JTAG mode | |||
| <1:1:0> | Slave parallel mode | |||
| <1:1:1> | Slave serial mode |
