FPGA configuration FPP

Hello, What happen if we configure a FPGA (CycloneIVGX) in FPP mode (RBF file written by microprocessor) with a file generated for the wrong package? Should we detect it by monitoring nSTATUS/CONF_D...

Hello,


To answer your question. Yes, to check whether the configuration is success or having some error can be detected by monitoring nSTATUS/CONF_DONE/INIT_DONE pins. For more information, if the FPGA is configured in FPP mode using a file generated for the wrong package, the possibility of the FPGA Fail to configure is high.


Hope that answers your question.


Best Regards,

Hello,

Not sure to understand your answer.

Do you mean that the FPGA will be configured with the file generated with the wrong package without reporting error on nSTATUS/CONF_DONE/INIT_DONE? (in that case the FPGA will will not be functionnal since pinout is different).

Or do you mean that the FPGA is able to detect that the file does not match the FPGA package and will report it on nSTATUS/CONF_DONE/INIT_DONE pins?

Thanks,

Gauthier
