Hi all,

Is there a simple way to read back data from Virtex5 BRAMs
preferable over JTAG by XSFV/SVF commands?

Best regards
Ed

Hi Ed,
 there used to be a TechXclusive from Kris Chaplin called
"Reconfiguring Block RAMs"
and a "PicoBlaze JTAG Program Loader", but unfortunately this seems to
have disappeared frrom Xilinx' website....

maybe sb. from Xilinx can give an updated link..

The PicoBlaze loader is now part of the PicoBlaze distribution. Here
is link to the Xilinx Forum message about it:

We have done a lot of neat stuff with the PicoBlaze, it is a great
little processor.
