Electronic – Booting multiple FPGAs using a single SPI Flash

bootloaderconfigurationfpgaspixilinx

I am using 3 Artix-7 FPGAs in my design.
Is it possible to use single SPI configuration Flash to program 3 FPGA device.

I have found information about multiple boots for one FPGA but not multiple FPGA booting using one boot memory.

I did this (booting 27 FPGAs) using spi slave boot mode. One FPGA or MCU serves as master and the others slaves. No problem. See chapter "Slave Serial Configuration" UG470.
