Spartan3E Parallel Flash Programming (with free Spartan 3e S |
|
|
Hi
I am really happy to see my Sample Pack board to boot again from on board
flash -
in my attempt to reprogram it I did manage to burn (with a small hole on top
of the IC package)
all the onboard power supply and to partially damage the strataflash on
board. and when attempting
to check the flash using universal scan my FPGA based PCI Cable III burned
completly as well.
so I ended up desoldering a TSOP56 flash from Avent Virtex4LX25 board and
replacing the
damaged flash on the sample pack board.
and shortly after that the board did reboot again from the configuration
programmed into the flash.
the "standalone flash programmer for the sample pack board" will be
available shortly.

if anyone needs it already now, please email me
to my best efforts I did not manage to programm the flash using the
'approuch' suggested
in the sample pack manual, maybe other are more lucky, but I have given up,
or better
waiting for EDK 8.1 or the webcase solution
Antti
PS I wonder that the free Spartan3e Sample Pack doesnt seem to be available
in Europe?
(only in north america and asia/pacific) |

comments to myself - it looks like nahitech is programming the flash
on the sample pack board with their JTAG tools -
http://nahitafu.cocolog-nifty.com/nahitafu/2005/12/xilinx_spartan3_3fdf.html
on the above link the Actual DVD box is seen along with 25USD OFF
splash, for the case the text on the picture is not readable:
it is a discount offer for 25USD from Spartan 3e Starterkit price, valid til
31.01.2006
so do not order the Starterkit before getting the free Sample Pack :)
Antti
PS too bad nahi decided to discontinue their free JTAG stuff, now all his
things
are commercial with no demo no eval and whats even worse only in japanese |

Hi Antti, |
So the Google taskbar gives you a 'transrate into Engrish feature' when you
right click on the web page. I translated the first couple of paragraphs for
you below. What you say?
Spartan3E Sample Pack
The variety you knew concerning the board which with the ET2005 was
distributed with pulling out selection.
First, name of this board seems that, " Spartan3E Sample Pack ". As for
this, it probably is the place such as the kind of board which is located
between the Spartan3E Starter Kit where sale is planned in the Spartan3
Starter Kit of the example which is sold before and December of 2005.
HTH, Cheers, Syms. ;-) |

Hi Syms,
as I understand the free sample packs are to be distributed during
january so that the 25OFF discount offer would still be valid.
the japanese reading was really funny after translation :)
the LTC dual 3by3mm switching supply is really cool, and the LTC6905 too
well there is a mistake in the datasheet supplied with sample pack CD,
it refers the resistor set version, but the board itself is fitted with fixd
50MHz
actual measurement result was about 0.5% of from 50MHz on my board.
