LogiCORE IP XPS HWICAP
(v5.01a)
Product Specification
Introduction
This product specification describes the functionality of
the HWICAP core for the Processor Local Bus (PLB).
The XPS HWICAP (Hardware ICAP) IP enables an
embedded microprocessor, such as the MicroBlaze^™ or
PowerPC^® processor to read and write the FPGA
configuration memory through the Internal
Configuration Access Port (ICAP) at run time, which
enables a user to write software programs for an
embedded processor that modifies the circuit structure
and functionality during the circuit’s operation.
Features
The XPS HWICAP includes support for resource
reading and modification of the CLB LUTs and
Flip-Flops.
• PLB v4.6 based PLB interface
• Partial bitstream loading is possible
• Supports long frame reads
• Enables Read/Write of CLB LUTs
• Enables Read/Write of CLB Flip-Flop properties
• Support for MicroBlaze and PowerPC embedded
processors
• Support for Virtex-4, Virtex-5, Virtex-6 and
Spartan-6 FPGA families
