2.1i/1.5i Design Manager/Template Manager: How to enable Express Mode Configuration Option for the SpartanXL Family



Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot

General Description:

In order to declare Express Mode Configuration for the SpartanXL family,
you must currently use the Template Manager Utility.

NOTE: When declaring Express Mode, the option to "Perform CRC during
Configuration" must be disabled from the Configuration Options GUI.

The option to select Express Mode will be avialable from the Configuration
Options GUI in a future release. In addition, CRC will automatically be
de-selected when one chooses the Express Mode Configuration option.


Solution 1:

Express Mode is defined by the following switch setting within
Template Manager :

   Program Name:     bitgen
   Program Options:  -g ExpressMode:Enable

For help on specifying options from within the Template Manager, please
reference (Xilinx Solution 1227).
