Record #7976

Product Family: Hardware

Product Line: Virtex

Product Part: Virtex General Hardware

Problem Title:
Virtex Configuration: DriveDone polarity is incorrect in XAPP151


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: What is the correct polarity of DriveDone in the COR register?


Solution 1:

In (Xilinx XAPP151) DRIVE_DONE is specified in the COR (Configuration Option Register) as:

0: DONE pin is actively driven high (default)
1: DONE pin is open drain.

This is incorrect. The polarity is reversed. In fact, it should read

0: DONE pin is open drain (default).
1: DONE pin is actively driven high.

Bitgen is correct in the polarity of DriveDone, only XAPP151 is in error. It will be changed in the
  next revision.
