9 FPGA Firmware upgrade
FPGA firmware update can be done in three different ways.
1. JTAG connection
2. PCI Express interface access to Xilinx configuration prom
3. MMC access to Xilinx configuration prom via IPMI commands
First is the only way of all needing an additional hardware tool like XILINX Platform cable
USB device. Also Xilinx Vivado software must be installed on USB connected computer.
On SIS8300-KU with intact Xilinx firmware only, the second way is the fastest of all.
Second and third way uses different LINUX tools (which can be found on the product DVD) .

JTAG Firmware Upgrade procedure
1. Connect PC and SIS8300-KU CON100 with "XILINX Platform cable USB" device
2. Set Jumper J604 to open position
2. Power up unit (Hot Swap Handle pushed)
9.1.1 Use of Xilinx Vivado Hardware Manager
Start Vivado and open Hardware Manager. To connect hardware with manager, click with
mouse on "Open target" string located in single row above empty main window and select
"Auto connect". Now in left side hardware window "xcku040_0" device must be recognised
how to see in screenshot below.
Right click with mouse on xcku040_0 row and select "Add Configuration Memory Device".
In next step limit the selectable memory devices to "Manufacturer" Spansion.
