G: Adding a PROM to Spartan-II FPGA

[LTDigital]

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and would like to say hi to everyone.
I'm currently working on a personal project that is as follow: I have a spartan-II FPGA that's already placed down on to a board by Digilent. This board does not come with a configuration prom. My goal is to add a prom to it. I have done some reading and found out that the VC18V02VQ44c is the one I'm going to use. I will use JTag to program the prom and then use Master Serial to configure my FPGA. The circuitry shows that I only need the 4 JTag pins, and then the 4 different pins for the serial connection. This seems way too simple. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this stuff and there is anything I should watch out for.

Thank you

LT

It's probably 20 years since I did FPGAs with configuration proms.
As I recall it was fairly simple to hook one up.
Doubt it has gotten more complex.

Err, well except for the programming
