Boundary Scan
The boundary scan operation is an extension of the JTAG
configuration mode. The scanning chains contain long chain and short
chain. The long chain is mainly combined with BSDL file for device testing.
The short chain is mainly used to erase and read and write the external
Flash on the FPGA chain.
To perform a boundary scan, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Connect the FPGA development board to the PC and then power up;
2. Open Gowin programmer and scan the connected devices;
3. Double-
click in the "Operation" field and select "External Flash Mode”
and the related bscan operation, as shown in Figure 8-1.
