Problem Title:
JTAG - Do the XC4000 based families require a special bitstream for JTAG Config?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

The XC4000E, XC4000EX, and XC5200 can all be configured through
the TAP. The configuration process is virtually identical to
the non-JTAG/BOUNDARY scan configuration process, except that
interface to the FPGA is done through the TAP.



Solution 1:

The .bit file or .rbt file can be used to configure the
XC4000E, XC4000EX, and XC5200 via the JTAG TAP without
any special modifications
