FPGA Central

Hello,
I am using XC9572XL High Performance CPLD. Just for a try i wrote simpl
program just to equate input to output. The code is synthesized but when
try to download code on CPLD through iMPACT it fails. Then I checked wit
all other options. Device is detected and erased properly but
1. Checksome fails
2. functional test fails.

Error --

ERROR:iMPACT:431 - '1':No vectors present.
ERROR:iMPACT:432 - '1':Functional test terminated

Please help me out.

Regards

Sanika

If you don't write the test vectors yourself, or use a program to create
them, then there are no test vectors to test the chip against.
Functional test applies a stimulus to the chip and observes for correct
output.

You probably just want to readback the programming pattern to verify
correct programming, but impact does that every time anyway.

Thanks
But what could be the reason for program fail..Is CPLD faulty in tha
case?

No. The message is saying that it can not find any test patterns to
check the chip against, therefore the functional test cannot be performed.
