Appendix A: ISE iMPACT Procedures
IMPORTANT: As of the writing of this document, there are issues with Xilinx iMPACT in ISE 14.x
when using in-direct programming of M25P## SPI flashes. It is recommended that you download ISE 13.4
lab tools to program the SPI flash. ISE 14.x can still be used for development and bitstream generation.
Preparing the iMPACT Project
1) Connect the JTAG programming cable to P2 ensuring that all JTAG signals align correctly.
Note that P2 also has the TRST signal on pin 1, which is not part of Xilinx’s Parallel or USB programming cables.
2) Open iMPACT, and select create a new project
3) Select configure devices using boundary scan.
4) iMPACT will scan the JTAG chain, and identify three devices. The first device will be the FPGA.
