PROM XC18V00: How to program an 1800 series prom with the JTAG programmer
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
How do I program an 1800 series prom using the JTAG
programmer?
Solution 1:
It is possible to program an 1800 series prom using the JTAG
programmer software (see solution 6850 for software support).
The procedure is as follows:
1) Using the Xilinx implementation tools, first create a bit file for
the target device.
2) Using the Prom File Formatter (or Promgen) add all required
bit files to create the prom file. Under File-> Prom Properties,
make sure that it is set for MCS or EXORmacs. Also change the target
device to the correct 1800 series prom. Then, File --> Save
will write out both a filename.pdr file as well as the desired prom
file (filename.mcs or filename.exo).
3) From the JTAG programmer, initialize (or manually add all
devices) in the chain. Highlight the 1800 series prom, and then
assign the created prom file to it (either MCS or EXO file). After
you assign the prom file to the prom, a dialog box will prompt you
to select the specific device and package of the 1800 series
prom. Once the correct device and package are selected, it is
possible to perform all normal JTAG operations on the prom,
including erase and program.
