12 years ago --- Quote Start --- I cannot program the two FPGA's separately since I cannot decouple the Config_Done's. --- Quote End --- You misunderstand. The first FPGA *can* be configured by the EPCS device, but it will not enter user mode, since the other device is holding CONF_DONE low. If you use JTAG to program the second device, then it will release CONF_DONE, and both FPGAs should enter user mode. Yeah, its subtle, but it should work. --- Quote Start --- However, if I repeatedly trigger off of nCEO and monitor Config_Done at 10 mV per division and lots of averaging I can tell that the first FPGA must have released its Config_Done right at the time that nCEO goes active (low). Config_Done shows ringing and a 3 mV change in its level. This looks like evidence that it is the second FPGA that is failing its configuration, yes ?? --- Quote End --- Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable assumption. You did not comment yet whether you can program these devices with JTAG. Cheers, Dave
