Virtex Configuration: What is the status of user I/O during configuration?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description
What is the status of Virtex user I/O during configuration
and the status of unused I/O after configuration?



Solution 1:

Virtex I/O are tri-stated during configuration.

By default, no pullup or pulldown is present on Virtex I/O during
configuration. However, preconfiguration pullups may be selected with optional Mode Pin values. Ple ase consult the Virtex Datasheet for more details.

After configuration of Virtex series FPGAs, the unused I/O are configured with OBUFT_S_12, which is tri-stated with a weak pulldown.
