Updating the XMC logic Configuration EEPROM
Virtex-5 configuration data is stored in an onboard flash EEPROM which may be updated using software provided by
Innovative. Logic images may come as updates from Innovative, or be generated by a user developing custom functionality.
The applet provided by Innovative, VsProm.exe, programs the FLASH using a .bit or .exo image file generated by the Xilinx
