Enable SEU Detection

To enable the SEU feature in the Efinity software:

  1. Click Device Setting > Configuration.
  2. Click the SEU Detection tab.
  3. Turn on Enable SEU Detection.
  4. Choose the mode, auto or manual.
    • In auto mode, you can specify the amount of time between SEU error checks in microseconds. Allowable values are 1 to 1650000.0 (default).
    • In manual mode, you specify the pin name that controls when the SEU error check happens.
    Tip: For environment that have a higher risk of SEUs, you can set a shorter wait interval. However, the shorter the wait interval, the more power the system consumes. To use less power, choose a longer wait interval. To save even more power, you can use manual mode to only trigger the SEU detection circuitry when conditions require it.
  5. Save.
Note: The software issues an error if you turn on SEU detection for Ti60ES FPGAs because they do not support SEU checking.
