FPGA Configuration
The Alveo U200/U250 accelerator card supports two Ult™ FPGA configuration modes:
• Quad SPI flash memory
• JTAG using USB JTAG configuration port (USB J13/FT4232H U27)
The FPGA bank 0 mode pins are hardwired to M[2:0] =
001
master SPI mode with pull-up/down
resistors.
At power up, the FPGA is configured by the Quad SPI NOR flash device (Micron
MT25QU01GBBA8E12-0SIT) with the FPGA_CCLK operating at clock rate of 105 MHz
(EMCCLK) using the master serial configuration mode. The Quad SPI flash memory NOR device
has a capacity of 1 Gb.
If the JTAG cable is plugged in, QSPI configuration might not occur. JTAG mode is always
available independent of the mode pin settings.
