1.6.5. Add Partition Dialog Box (Programming File Generator)

To open in the Programming File Generator, click the Configuration Device tab, select a device from the list, and click Add Partition.

Allows you to specify the attributes of a new partition. The following settings are available:

Table 19.  Add Partition Dialog Box Settings
Setting Description
Name Name that you give to the partition.
Input file Input file to program into the flash partition.
Page

Configuration devices can store multiple configuration bitstreams in flash memory, called pages. CFI configuration devices can store up to eight configuration bitstreams. Intel® Hyperflex™ devices can store up to four configuration bitstreams, including the factory image.

In Intel® Hyperflex™ devices, with the remote system update feature enabled, Page represents the parity.

Address Mode The options are:
  • Auto—automatically allocates a block in the flash device to store the data.
  • Block—specify the start and end address of the flash partition.
  • Start—specify the start address of the partition. The tool assigns the end address of the partition based on the input data size.
Start address Specifies the start address of the partition. Only enabled when Address Mode is Block or Start.
End address Specifies the end address of the partition. Only enabled when Address Mode is Block.
