Hi Ilandre and Kurt,

I need to download my Spartan 3 by using uboot and I was wondering if someone had already written something for that. I found your mails but unfortunately not the patch. :( This patch will be added to the next uboot version ?? Where can I find it ? Thanks in advance.

I've just implemented Spartan-3 download using the existing Spartan 2 driver. Actually, it required no changes. You simply need to add definitions for new image sizes to include/spartan2.h (though even that is not mandatory).

I was thinking about doing some cosmetic changes later, like replacig references to Spartan-II with "Spartan family" or something, but so far had no time nor lots of desire to do that.

Unfortunately, I won't have access to that source until the weekend, but since the change is trivial, you should have no problem at all.

BTW, the same seems to be true about the new FPGAs from the Virtex family: the download procedure is still the same.

Happy hacking, Vladimir
