1. I dont have Xilinx platform cable, but FT2232C/H, so I cannot use
it directly from ISE...
2. Official Xilinx IDE called ISE does not and will not support SPI
S33 Flash memory that resides on this Xilinx DevelKit -  their
solution is to replace chip into a Numonyx one.
3. I cannot program BPI because there is no support in Xilinx ISE for BPI :\
4. I have managed to produce SVF file and upload it into RAM
configuration memory in FPGA devoce (XC3SD1800A).

I think I have to write my own IP-Core to support both of these
memories and add this functionality to UrJTAG - just wanted to ask in
here to make sure. But first I have to verify if PROM file produced
for M25P64 is the same as it would be for S33... otherwise there is no
way to produce S33 PROM file from Xilinx ISE to program official
Xilinx DevelKit :-(

Best regards,
Tomek
