How to boot from SPI Flash?

Logic, code, whatever ... if you have no room left on your configuration device you're in an

unfortunate position. Perhaps you should use a bigger configuration device. ;-)

In any regard, I don't think I was very clear in my last post:

The EPCS controller uses on-chip memory that contains a small bootloader. If you are _already_

using the EPCS controller, you can try to replace the existing bootloader. Provided your

(bootloader) implementation is smaller than the default, it should fit in your EPCS.
