The way to connect two XS1-L16?

Post by jerryXCORE »

When we connect two sliceKit boards, four tiles are connected in this way:
kit1-tile[0]----kit1-tile[1]------------ kit2-tile[0]---- kit2-tile[1]
(I have two sliceKit boards, and it works)

Now I will design my own board with two XS1-L16, can I connect in this way?:
chip1-tile[0]----chip1-tile[1]------------ chip2-tile[1]---- chip2-tile[0]

Thanks!

With two L16 devices, it is not possible to connect in the following fashion:

kit1-tile[0]----kit1-tile[1]------------ kit2-tile[1]---- kit2-tile[0]

as tile 1 is hard wired to boot using xCONNECT links from tile 0.

You are right: I am actually NOT talking about sliceKits
------------------I am talking about developing my own board with two XS1-L16 Chips

So I reiterate my question:
Now I will design my own board with two XS1-L16 chips, can I connect in this way?:
chip1-tile[0]----chip1-tile[1]------------ chip2-tile[1]---- chip2-tile[0]

Looks like it is possible by using MODE [4,3,2] : 1 1 0 --> Tile0 and Tile1 independently enable link B and internal links (E, F, G, H), and boot from channel end 0. Have a look at the datasheet from the following link : ( page 15 )
