The CONFIG_MODE property defines which device configuration mode or modes to use for pin allocations, DRC reporting, and bitstream generation.

Important: COMPATIBLE_CONFIG_MODES property has been deprecated in the 2013.3 release, and is replaced by the CONFIG_MODE property.

AMD FPGAs can be configured by loading application-specific configuration data, or a bitstream, into internal memory through special configuration pins. There are two general configuration datapaths: a serial datapath used to minimize the device pins required, and parallel datapaths for higher performance configuration. The CONFIG_MODE property defines which modes are used for the current design.

Refer to the 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide (UG470), or the UltraScale Architecture Configuration User Guide (UG570) for more information on device configuration modes.
