Certain older SVEC cards have been shipped with the first version of the bootloader that does not support booting the AFPGA from the Flash memory. In order to use from the VME Flasher, an update is necessary. The procedure goes as follows:
@itemize
@item Download the updated bootloader @code{svec-bootloader-v2-20140207.mcs} from @uref{http://www.ohwr.org/projects/svec/files}.
@item Download the updated bootloader @code{svec-bootloader-v2-20140207.mcs} from @uref{http://www.ohwr.org/projects/svec/wiki/Gateware_release_2_0}.
@item Connect Xilinx JTAG programmer to the JTAG connector of the card to be updated.
@item Launch ISE iMPACT.
@item Double-Click ``Boundary Scan'' in the left pane (``iMPACT flows'').
