If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, ensure
you quote enough for the article to make sense. Google is only
an interface to Usenet; it's not Usenet itself. Don't assume
your readers can, or ever will, see any previous articles.

Not directly. Some combination of one of the many mpu's with embedded 
ethernet mac and XAPP502 or XAPP058 can work. You might also try a 
bootloader running on the S3AD to pull the bitstream through the onboard 
PHY, and store it to flash. The trouble, of course, is getting the 
bootloader onto the device to start with. You might try a simple parallel 
cable to drive the JTAG pins to do that. <winkie>

I notice the price for the embedded and DSP kits that include your board 
have gone up considerably in the past week. Both versions include the USB-II 
cable, for (previously) not much more than for the board alone, along with 
the embedded or DSP tools as appropriate.

You can use the project delivered with the S3a Starter kit (see ug330
pag.17) and available in
http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/s3astarter/reference_designs.htm#parallel_flash_programmer
.

With this project you can use the the RS232 cable to program the
flash. Then you can use new configuration at next power-up.

This project is a nice starting point to implement a similar project
using ethernet.
