XILINX directory of the CF card. Note: You can edit XILINX\flash.txt on the CF card to specify different directory locations or file names for the bitstreams that are to be loaded into the linear flash. While running, this program uses the serial terminal and LCD to display status information about its progress in programming the linear flash. -

Now try to program a different bitstream into linear flash. Copy the hello_char_lcd_hw.bit bitstream from <LAB_DIR> to the CF card into the XILINX\flash directory. Rename system0.bit to system0.bak as backup. Then rename the hello_char_lcd_hw.bit file to system0.bit. Note: On the ML402 board, there might be insufficient space on the CF card to keep the old ACE file. - Page 29 CPLD (95144XL) reads the flash and configures the FPGA.
