Programming (Configuring) an FPGA

FONT SIZE : AAA

Defifinitions

● Confifi guration fifi les (also called bit fifi les) contain the information that will be  uploaded into the FPGA in order to program it to perform a specififi c function.  
● In the case of SRAM-based FPGAs, the confifi guration fifi le contains a mixture  of confifi guration data (bits that are used to defifi ne the state of programmable  logic elements directly) and confifi guration commands (instructions that tell the  device what to do with the confifi guration data). When the confifi guration fifi le is  in the process of being loaded into the device, the information being transferred is referred to as the confifi guration bitstream.

—Technology Trade-offs—  

● E 2  -based and FLASH-based devices are programmed in a similar manner  to their SRAM-based cousins. By comparison, in the case of antifuse-based  FPGAs, the configuration file predominantly contains only a representation  of the configuration data that will be used to grow the antifuses.
