Chapter 6
Configuration
This chapter provides a brief description of the FPGA configuration methods used on the
Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Development Board. This chapter contains the following sections:
• “Configuration Modes”
• “JTAG Chain”
• “JTAG Port”
• “Parallel IV Cable Port”
• “System ACE Interface”
Configuration Modes
The Virtex-5 FPGA ML561 Memory Interfaces Development Board includes several
options to configure the Virtex-5 FPGAs. The configuration modes are:
• System ACE mode
• JTAG mode
Table 6-1 shows the Virtex-5 FPGA configuration modes. The Master and Slave (Parallel)
SelectMAP configuration modes are not supported on the Virtex-5 FPGA ML561
Development Board. A separate 6-pin 3x2 header is provide for each FPGA to control the
Mode bits setting. The three headers are P27, P46, and P112 for FPGA #1, FPGA #2, and
FPGA #3, respectively. The even pins (# 2, 4, and 6) of the headers are tied to GND, and the
odd pins (# 1, 3, and 5) are connected to the respective Mode bit FPGA inputs (M0, M1, and
M2, respectively). A weak (4.7KΩ) pull-up is applied to each of these pins to set a logic '1'
by default.
