5.3.2. FPGA Configuration
You can configure the FPGA using an external device or through the HPS. This section highlights configuring the FPGA through the HPS.
The FPGA CB uses the FPGA mode select (MSEL) pins to determine which configuration scheme to use. The MSEL pins must be tied to the appropriate values for the configuration scheme. The table below lists supported MSEL values when the FPGA is configured by the HPS.

HPS software sets the clock-to-data ratio field (cdratio) and configuration data width bit (cfgwdth) in the control register (ctrl) to match the MSEL pins. The cdratio field and cfgwdth bit must be set before the start of configuration.
The FPGA manager connects to the configuration logic in the FPGA portion of the device using a mode similar to how external logic (for example, MAX II or an intelligent host) configures the FPGA in fast passive parallel (FPP) mode. FPGA configuration through the HPS supports all the capabilities of FPP mode, including the following items:
- FPGA configuration
- Partial FPGA reconfiguration
- FPGA I/O configuration, followed by PCI Express® (PCIe®) configuration of the remainder of FPGA
- External single event upset (SEU) scrubbing
- Decompression
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
- FPGA DCLK clock used for initialization phase clock
Configuring the FPGA portion of the SoC device comprises the following phases:
- Power up phase
- Reset phase
- Configuration phase
- Initialization phase
- User mode
The FPGA Manager can be configured to accept configuration data directly from the MPU or the DMA engine. Either the processor or the DMA engine moves data from memory to the FPGA Manager data image register space img_data_w. The L4 interconnect allocates a 4 KB region for image data. It is not necessary to increment the address when writing the image data because all accesses within the 4 KB image data region is transferred to the configuration logic.
