Upgrade the DT5495 User FPGA Firmware
The UFPGA demo firmware projects are available on CAEN website at the DT5495 web page (
login required
).
User demo firmware or custom user firmware can be recompiled and the generated RPD file can be uploaded into the
FLASH memory of the User FPGA.
The custom or the Demo RPD firmware file can be uploaded only on the application 1 page of
the USER FPGA FLASH of the DT5495!
The following instructions allow to upgrade the UFPGA firmware:
1.
Select the “Upgrade Firmware” option in the
Board
tab.
2.
Select the “V2495” item in the
Board Model
combo box.
3.
Set the connection parameters according to your communication link and hardware setup (all the parameters
are detailed in

).
4.
Select the UFPGA by checking the relevant checkbox.
5.
Select Application 1 as the only supported target application image (see
Fig. 8.15
).
