Download bitstream to multiple boards in parallel

Hi,

I am new to WARP and was wondering if it is possible to download the bitstream to multiple (2) boards using the Xilinx Platform Studio at the same time to save some time while debugging the source code.

Thanks

Re: Download bitstream to multiple boards in parallel

iMPACT can only configure one JTAG chain (i.e. one board) at a time.

But you can use the CompactFlash card to speed up downloading to multiple boards. This is how we iterate on designs utilizing multiple nodes. The iMPACT documentation (or this tutorial) explains how to program a CF card with your bitstream. Once programmed, the CF card can be hot-swapped among multiple nodes.
