After watchdog for dual-config is enabled, the FPGA seems like not work properly every dozens of seconds. Why?

FPGA communicates with another FPGA with PHY chip. Normally(watchdog enable checkbox not checked), the PHY link led is always off when communication is good. While after I enble watchdog for dual-con...

Hi,

May I know if each device will have it's own serial number? The reason is that if you would like to implement different serial number for each pof file will be difficult.

If this is The case then I would recommend you to use On Chip Flash IP to directly program the bitstream using rpd file (raw programming file) then this will make you easier to modify the rpd file as it is a raw binary file and you may refer to .map file to determine where you can use to store the serial number. This will be more harder to implement as you need to create a design where you can update the UFM directly.
