Problem Title:
M1.3.7 Hardware Debugger fails during Readback/Verify on PC.


Problem Description:

Keywords: Hardware Debugger, Readback, Verify, 4028EX/XL, 4036EX/XL

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Using Hardware Debugger M1.3.7 to Readback/Verify the configuration of certain
FPGA's may fail with certain devices.  It may occur with the 4028EX/XL after
reading 39% and with the 4036EX/XL after reading 46%.


Solution 1:

A patch is available at:

  ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.3_alliance/hwdebugr.zip

To install:

  CD C:\XILINX (or directory where M1.3.7 is installed)
  PKUNZIP -d HWDEBUGR.ZIP (or equivalent)

This patch is on the M1.3 Performance Pack CD, but does not
install correctly. The FTP file should still be installed to
correct this problem.
