Problem Title:
Proms XC18V00: What are the program options for the 1800 in the JTAG Programmer?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
What are the program options for the 1800 in the JTAG Programmer?


Solution 1:

Verify: Read back the MCS/EXO file stored in the 1800 and compare it
to the MCS/EXO file associated with it in the JTAG Programmer.

Parallel Mode: When checked, this will set a bit in the 1800 to allow
the data to be output on D0-D7 in parallel. When unchecked, this will
clear the bit, setting the 1800 for serial output mode (D0).

Load FPGA: After the program operation completes, the 1800 will pulse
the CF# pin low to initiate FPGA reconfiguration. For more details on
the CF# pin, please see (Xilinx Solution 7472).

Read Protect: Set a security bit to keep JTAG Programmer from being
able to readback the MCS/EXO file.

Skip User Array: Do not program the MCS/EXO into the 1800. The purpose
of this is so you can program the serial/parallel bit without having to
program the entire array.
