Serial Peripheral Interface NOR flash memory (referred to as SPI Flash memory) is a popular AMD UltraScale™ FPGA configuration solution. The value of this solution is increased when it is used post-configuration to store non-volatile user data or to remotely update configuration images. This application note and reference design demonstrates post-configuration access between an AMD Kintex™ UltraScale™ FPGA and SPI flash memory provided by a KCU105 evaluation board. AMD Vivado™ Design Suite 2022.2 is used as the development environment.
