Hello,
I'm trying to burn my design into the PROM of my iBOB. I've struggled with
this before, but usually after several iterations I finally get it to work.
Any ideas why this is so finicky? I am using a Platform USB cable, and the
PROM verifies fine, so I think it's programming the file OK. I suspect the
file creation. However I'm using the exact version of iMPACT shown in the
iBOB PROM programming guide and following the steps exactly. The problem is
that the FPGA fails to program (the DONE light does not go on, nor any of
the other LEDs I expect from the design when it's working (the serial port
is also unresponsive of course). I've tried pushing the prog button, but no
help there. If I program the design to the FPGA directly, it starts up
immediately. Any suggestions of what I might be missing?
Thanks,
Glenn
