I could not download my mcs file into Spartan-6 FPGA board configuration device. I am using ISE14.2.

I could not download my design file into XCM-020 Spartan-6 FPGA board configuration device by indirect programming.
I am using ISE14.2.

We confirmed that ISE14.2 iMPACT tool fails to program to a configuration device indirectly.

Target

We received same question for boards below,

• XCM-020-75T : XC6SLX75T-2FGG484C
• XCM-206-LX150: XC6SLX150-2FGG676C

Description

The iMPACT will faile to read IDCODE (with "ffffff") of configuration device after configuring the FPGA with an indirect design file.

ISE14.2, LX150 device. iMPACT failed to read IDCODE.
