Programmer for Xilinx XC17xxx PROM chips.

XC17xxx PROM Programmer =======================

Tool for programming Xilinx XC17xxx families of PROM chips that are used for storing the configuration bitstream of the Spartan FPGA.

I developed this programmer to be able to program the PROM chips used in the Wide-Boy64. The Wide-Boy64 CGB uses the XC1701L, and the Wide-Boy64 AGB uses the XC17S20XL.

I originally thought that the Wide-Boy64 CGB uses the XC1701 chip (without the L at the end), because that's how those chips are labeled on their package. After buying some of those XC1701 chips and reading out their device ID, I realized that…

Xc17 prom prog: common questions

What microcontroller does the Xc17 prom prog use?

The Xc17 prom prog is built around the ICE40HX4K-TQ144, from the FPGA family.

How big is the Xc17 prom prog PCB?

The Xc17 prom prog measures 123 × 95 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
