Configuration
10.1 Overview
The three operational modes for an SRAM-based FPGA are pre-configuration, configuration and operational. After power-up a device remains in the pre-configuration mode until it has been initialized. During the configuration mode of operation, a bit stream is stored in a nonvolatile memory location and then transferred in blocks into the target FPGA device. Three common methods of configuring FPGA devices are synchronous serial, parallel and JTAG. Once the FPGA has been successfully configured, the device enters operational mode. For specific families and architectures it may also be possible to partially reconfigure the device while it is running.
SRAM-based FPGA devices support in-system programming (ISP) ...
