Although the XC3S500E FPGA only requires just slightly over 2 Mbits per configuration
image, the FPGA-to-StrataFlash interface on the board support up to a 256 Mbit
StrataFlash. The Spartan-3E FPGA Starter Kit board ships with a 128 Mbit device. Address
line SF_A24 is not used.
In general, the StrataFlash device connects to the XC3S500E to support Byte Peripheral
Interface (BPI) configuration. The upper four address bits from the FPGA, A[23:19] do not
connect directly to the StrataFlash device. Instead, the XC2C64 CPLD controls the pins
during configuration. As described in
StrataFlash connections are shared with other components on the board.
Stores MicroBlaze processor code in the StrataFlash device and shadows the code into
the DDR memory before executing the code.
Stores non-volatile data from the FPGA.
