shahabamo Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Is it possible to load the sketch into SPI flash, along with the .bit file in designlab? (It is possible for microblaze in ISE). regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The sketch is loaded into SPI flash. Once you load a sketch and power cycle the sketch is still in effect. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahabamo Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Interesting... Thank you jack. So the bootloader automatically looks into SPI flash in the boot time and loads the software code into the RAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yes, that is how it works for ZPUino. For a regular bit file the FPGA boots from the SPI flash directly. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvieboy Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 To be more precise, the FPGA boots the initial ZPUino from SPI flash [FPGA design], it starts, waits for 1 second for serial/usb commands and then loads the user code from SPI flash and executes it.
