15 years agoconfiguring multiple fpga's with multiple bitstreams via JTAG connection.
Hello People, I have successfully developped a special board with six fpga's (EP3C25) each fpga has its own EPCS16 configuration memory and they are programmed seperately on their own JTAG sock...

15 years agoYou should consider, that selecting individual devices in the JTAG chain for configuration involves some overhead. In my opinion, the configuration scheme figure 9–28. jtag configuration of a single device using a microprocessor won't be well suited for this method, although it can be basically extended to a JTAG chain. I suggest to provide a JTAG chain for test and debugging purposes and use a PS or FPP configuration scheme that allows individual access to each FPGA, e.g. by using separate command and status and common DATA and DCLK lines.
