Software for ILite tiles
Software is stored on four different locations in the ILite tile:
1. On the FPGA of the re-sync unit : firmware re-sync unit (A).
2. On the FPGA of the controller unit : firmware controller (B).
3. On the FPGA of the LED driver (or second FPGA on the controller unit in case of ILite XP versions) : firmware driver (C).
4. On the CPU of the controller unit : program and boot software (µP).
