About this task

In this programming mode, you specify up to four images that can configure one FPGA. You then use the FPGA's CBSEL pins to select which image to use. You can only use active mode.

Procedure

  1. Click the Combine Multiple Images button.
  2. Choose Mode > Selectable Flash Image.
  3. Enter the output file name.
  4. Choose the output file location. The default is the project's outflow directory.
  5. Choose Image Type > External Flash Image. This setting tells the FPGA to use the CBSEL pins.
  6. Click in the table row corresponding to the position for which you want to add an image.
  7. Click Add Image.
  8. Select the image file to place in that location.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 as needed. You can add up to four images.
  11. Click Apply to generate the combined image file.
  12. Click Close to return to the Programmer, which displays the combined image file as the image to use for programming.
  13. Click Start Program.
