Configuration Modes

3.1

LittleBee

®

Family of FPGA Products

Besides the JTAG configuration mode that is commonly used in the

industry, the LittleBee

®

Family of FPGA products also support

GOWINSEMI's own configuration mode: GowinCONFIG. GowinCONFIG
configuration modes that are available and supported for each device
depend on the device model and package. All non-volatile devices support
JTAG and AUTO BOOT modes. Up to six configuration modes are
supported, as shown in Table 3-1.
