Virtex Configuration: Can devices be daisy-chained in SelectMAP mode?


Record #7732

Problem Title:
Virtex Configuration: Can devices be daisy-chained in SelectMAP mode?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: Daisy-chaining of devices is available in the serial modes. Is it possible in SelectMAP mode?


Solution 1:

Daisy chaining isn't possible in SelectMAP mode. The BUSY signal,
used in SelectMAP, is the same pin as DOUT, which would
normally provide downstream devices with data. However, a parallel
loading situation is possible. For more information, refer to XAPP138:
