MSPI
In MSPI (Master SPI) mode, the FPGA as the Master reads bitstream
data from external Flash memory via its SPI port to configure the FPGA’s
internal SRAM.
MSPI Mode FPGA Configuration:
1.
Set the MODE pin configuration values to be MSPI mode.
2.
To prompt the FPGA to automatically load the bitstream from external
Flash either
Power Cycle the FPGA
Or pulse RECONFIG_N low.
MSPI Mode External Flash Update:
The external Flash memory can also be re-programmed via the FPGA
using JTAG. This feature enables the FPGA to support bitstream
back-ground updates and is often referred to as infield or remote update.
Once the FPGA has been configured, users can remotely write new
configuration data to the external Flash via the FPGA. Once Flash
programming completes the new bitstream can be automatically loaded by
triggering RECONFIG_N or power-cycling the FPGA.
