The epcs is behind the FPGA from a JTAG point-of-view ... that's why the flash programmer design is necessary. > My only way of seeing/programming the Seial Configuration device is > thru the byteblaster header. If you don't have a flash programmer design, you are correct -- you would have to use the ASMI w/xxxBlaster. If you do have a (working) flash programmer design you can do everything through JTAG and avoid placing yet another header on your board. Joe, are you sure that your FPGA is properly loading its configuration from the epcs? You might want to program the epcs via ASMI and debug from there. Regards, --Scott
