Problem Description: Urgency: HOT General Description: Customer is using the JTAGProgrammer but is getting errors when performing a configure instruction on the Virtex Device. Solution 1: A Patch is available to configuring the Virtex devices via the JTAGProgrammer. The description of the patch and ftp site location can be found in solution #6427. (http://www.xilinx.com/techdocs/6427.htm) It should be noted with this patch when reconfiguring the Virtex device the prog pin should be pulsed low. The Virtex devices require a Shutdown sequence when doing a full reconfiguration on the Virtex parts. This is not included in this patch but will be added in a future release.
