Erasing Flash Memory of Spartan 3E FPGA

[Lelle]

Hello,

I'm programming a Spartan 3E FPGA, and I believe there are a few VIs left in the flash memory from the previous user of the board. I'd like to just clear out the flash memory. 've been playing around and can't seem to find how to clear it through LabView on a spartan.

I've already had a look at this.

It should be pretty simple, anyone know how to go about it?

thanks in advance!

Are you referring to the platform flash (XCF04, this can be used to automatically-configure the FPGA on powerup) or the Strataflash (which cannot easily be configured to do so, but can be used for persistent storage)? 

If it's the former, I would suggest using iMPACT to clear the flash part.  For the later, there are a few examples that interact with the Strataflash, that's as good a starting point as any.
