I use the excellent FPGALink utility to program FPGA via USB and JTAG.
In the classic case, I correctly generate the .bit file using a set of scripts that glue the various steps of the Xilinx synthesis process.
It works like a charm: right after the bitstream has been loaded into the FPGA, I can play with my built-in design on the Nexys2 FPGA (from Digilent).
However, now I am faced with a new task: I would like to run my .bit file in PROM. It seems I need to generate a .mcs file. I found a tutorial , but it focuses on the Xilinx GUI, which I really want to avoid.
How can I do this, script-only? (update: the link appears to give a detailed procedure)
And then how to load this into PROM using FPGALink?
