Spartan-II FPGA Family: Functional Description
Boundary-scan operation is independent of individual IOB
configurations, and unaffected by package type. All IOBs,
including unbonded ones, are treated as independent
3-state bidirectional pins in a single scan chain. Retention of
the bidirectional test capability after configuration facilitates
the testing of external interconnections.
Table 7 lists the boundary-scan instructions supported in
Spartan-II FPGAs. Internal signals can be captured during
EXTEST by connecting them to unbonded or unused IOBs.
They may also be connected to the unused outputs of IOBs
defined as unidirectional input pins.

instructions
The public boundary-scan instructions are available prior to
configuration. After configuration, the public instructions
remain available together with any USERCODE
instructions installed during the configuration. While the
SAMPLE and BYPASS instructions are available during
configuration, it is recommended that boundary-scan
operations not be performed during this transitional period.
In addition to the test instructions outlined above, the
boundary-scan circuitry can be used to configure the FPGA,
and also to read back the configuration data.
To facilitate internal scan chains, the User Register
provides three outputs (Reset, Update, and Shift) that
represent the corresponding states in the boundary-scan
internal state machine.
