12 years ago --- Quote Start --- It seemed to program, but after turning off and then on the board, it did'nt seem to load the softwre to the fpgas. --- Quote End --- Your statement is not clear. It sounds like you are saying that the FPGAs programmed ok, but their software did not load. An .sof is only the FPGA configuration, it does not include any software (other than any embedded in memory initialization files). I'm not sure how you would share an EPCS between two FPGAs to load software, given that you would have to arbitrate access to the common resource, i.e., the SPI interface to the EPCS flash. But perhaps your comments are just a reflection of being a non-English speaker ... Talk to you when you get back from holiday. Cheers, Dave
