Clarity to a statement within the PFL Intel FPGA IP User Guide wrt pulsing pfl_nreconfigure pin low
Clarity is required 2 statements within the 'Parallel Flash Loader Intel FPGA IP User Guide' wrt pulsing pin low to initiate a new reconfiguration :
Page 20 states :
1.3.6.1 .... 3. After 15 clock cycles, pulse the pfl_nreconfigure input pin to low
Page 21 states :
1.3.6.2 Bullet point 2 last sentence :
The pfl_nreconfigure signal pulsed low for greater than one pfl_clk_cycle
So from the above 2 statements to initiate reconfiguration do we need to :
After pfl_nreset goes '1' (out of reset) :
Pulse the pfl_nreconfigure input pin to low after 15 clock cycles and keep it low for greater than 1 pfl_clk_cycles
Please confirm ...

Hi Kevin,
Your understanding is correct.
Once the pfl_nreset pin is 'high' ('1'), wait for 15 pfl_clk cycles and then drive pfl_nreconfigure to 'low' ('0').

BUT pulse pfl_nreconfigure signal low after 15 pfl_clk cycles for greater than 1 pfl_clk_cycle.
Please reconfirm ..

Yes, the minimum pulse width for the pfl_nreconfigure = '0' should be one pfl_clk cycle.
