wired downloading bitstream to spartan2

[Jimy]

HI,
I have a Avnet Spartan2 board, if I download the the .mcs (prom
file) comming with the board to it, it seems everything is OK. Then I
build my design, went through the implementation flow, and I run a
script to run impact.exe,

setMode -bscan
setCable -p lpt1
addDevice -p 1 -part xc18v01
addDevice -p 2 -file download.bit
program -p 2
quit


but what I see is at the end of its running is like this,


'2'rogramming device...done.
INFO:iMPACT:579 - '2': Completed downloading bit file to device.
INFO:iMPACT:580 - '2':Checking done pin ....done.
'2': Programming terminated, Done did not go high.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Done.



Do you know what might be the problem? Note that I have the same P4
download cable, JTAG cable and power supply.

Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim,

think You want to program a ser. PROM. Did YOU already try to create a *.mcs
file for the serial PROM instead of a *.bit file?
