Hi,


If you are connecting the FPGA in the JTAG chain, then you can program all the device in the single flow but the device will be configured sequentially.

Hi JohnT,

Thanks for reply.If these FPGAs are configured sequentially, no time will be saved. I want configure 5 FPGAs parallely, since these 5 FPGAs' bitstream is the same.
