Usefull pin of FPGA Configuration

PROGRAM_B :
During Configuration: Must be High to allow configuration to start. 
After Configuration: Drive PROGRAM_B Low and release to reprogram FPGA. Hold PROGRAM_B to force the FPGA 
 I/O pins into High-Z, allowing direct programming access to SPI flash PROM pins.

NOR FLASH Reset Specifications

Asserting RP# during a system reset is important with automated program/erase devices because systems typically expect to read from flash memory when coming out of reset. If a CPU reset occurs without a flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not occur. This is because the flash memory may be providing status information, instead of array data as expected. Connect RP# to the same active low reset signal used for CPU initialization. Also, because the device is disabled when RP# is asserted, it ignores its control inputs during power-up/down. Invalid bus conditions are masked, providing a level of memory protection. See Reset Operation Waveforms in JS28F256J3F105.

1, tVCCPH: Min. 300us, VCC Power valid to RP# de-assertion (high)
2, tPLPH: Min. 100ns, RP# pulse width low
