Hi friends,

I try to interface PPC440 with Internal Configuration Access Port (ICAP) to write/Read in configuration frames.

If there is some codes or documents or tips!

regards
 

Just use it like any other peripheral. If you have any doubts about the bitstream format there are several examples in Virtex-5 Configuration Guide
 
Hi aethor,

Hi lahrach,

The first thing for you to know is to use Xilinx's XPS (EDK). If you are not familiar with it follow some tutorial searching in google. If your doubts come from the bitstream format the document to read is the Virtex-5 Configuration Guide. Info in this way is a bit confusing, I'd tell you to follow the bitstream example in there and see what's the meaning of the commands there. When you learn that you can try to figure out your own bitstream commands. These commands can be sent through the Hwicap peripheral in XPS. You'll also have to check its drivers to know how it works (not that difficult).

Hope this helps you,
Regards
 

Hi eathor
