3. 128 Mb Platform Flash XL
A 128 Mb Xilinx XCF128X-FTG64C Platform Flash XL device is used with an onboard
47 MHz oscillator (X4) to configure the FPGA in less than 100 ms from power valid as
required by the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification. This allows the PCIe
interface to be recognized and enumerated when plugged into a host PC.
To achieve the fastest configuration speed, the FPGA mode pins are set to Slave SelectMAP
and the onboard 47 MHz clock source external to the FPGA is used for configuration.
Configuration DIP switch S2, switch 1, controls the 47 MHz oscillator enable as outlined in
“18. Switches,” page 53.
See S2 switch setting details in Table 1-26, page 56. Also, see the “FPGA Design
Considerations for the Configuration Flash,” page 23 for FPGA design recommendations.
4. 32 MB Linear BPI Flash
A Numonyx JS28F256P30 Linear BPI Flash memory (P30) on the ML605 provides 32 MB of
non-volatile storage that can be used for configuration as well as software storage. The
Linear BPI Flash shares the dual use configuration pins in parallel with the XCF128
Platform Flash XL.
The P30_CS net is used to select the P30 or the XCF128. Power-on configuration is selected
by the P30_CS net which is tied to a dip switch S2 (selects pullup/pulldown) and is also
wired to an FPGA non-config pin. The dip switch allows power selection for the
configuration device P30 or XCF128XL. The dip switch selection can be overridden by the
FPGA after configuration by controlling the logic level of the P30_CS signal.
See S2 switch setting details in Table 1-26, page 56. For an overview on configuring the
FPGA, see “Configuration Options,” page 73.
