Programming Procedure For CPU Board V1.0

Description:
XL200/EM200 has a Central Processing Unit (CPU) consisting of a Spartan-3E FPGA. This CPU is
removable from interface board. The board can either be programmed while it is connected to interface
board or while it is independently powered. The file format for the final image of the FPGA code is called
as .mcs file.This file will be given as an input to the Flash burn utility.

Setup:
Following aids are required for programming the CPU board,
1) Xilinx ISE 8.2i (or later) Setup (Given in CD)
2) Xilinx Platform cable for FPGA (connected to USB port of PC)
3) +5V supply (when the CPU board is programmed externally)
4) JTAG USB drivers are given in ug344_windows_platformcable folder on CD.

Steps for downloading the program
1) Install the Xilinx 8.2i (or later) set up on the PC.
2) The FPGA can be programmed using impact utility, which can be found in program group of xilinx
installation as depicted in fig (a)

10) Take the CPU board and put the jumper JP2 between (1-2) as shown in the Fig.(d)
11) Connect a +5V supply to connector J1 (Pin 1: +5V & Pin 2: GND) on CPU board. Fig.(d)
12) Connect the flying wires of Programming cable to JTAG pins (J2 header) of the CPU board.
(Connector J2 on CPU). The orientation of the cable is as shown in the Fig.(d)

18) The CPU board is successfully programmed if there are no ERRORS indicated at the end of
verification process (as shown in Fig B1.2 by an arrow). The CPU board needs to be reprogrammed
if any ERRORS are reported.10) Fig.(i) shows a screen view of impact utility after successful
Programming of the CPU board.

19) After successful programming process, Power OFF the CPU board and place the jumper JP2
between (2-3). Now, the CPU board is ready to operate the analyzer logic. Mount it on interface
board carefully.
20) Same programming steps are followed for programming CPU board connected on interface
board, without connecting the power connecter as CPU board gets power from interface board
itself.

you are making these connections.
b) If you are programming RCT heater controller please refer to fig no. 6 for connection.
c) If you are programming PDC controller please refer to fig no. 7 for connection. Use the
male-female convertor PCB as shown in Fig no 7.
d) Launch the FlashUtil.exe
e) Click on Enumerate USB as shown in fig1. On it should display some no next to Adapter
selection label.
f) Select USB Debug Adapter. As debug adapter.
g) Select C2 as debug interface for RCT and JTAG for PDC.
