Record #7653

Product Family: Hardware

Product Line: R3000

Product Part: R3320

Product Version: XPLA2

Problem Title:
XPLA2: Size of download file and amount of device memory space needed for configuration.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot

General Description: What is the size of the XPLA2 download file and
how much device memory space do I need to store this?


Solution 1:

The size of the download file will vary with the design because a
compression algorithm is employed. However, the maximum size of a
configuration file (meaning no compression) for a XCR320 is 189,280 bits
and the maximum size of a configuration file for a XCR960 is 565,600 bits.
Therefore, the designer should pick the size of the configuration PROM
appropriately.
