How to create an MCS file for download to the BORG board

There are four Xilinx 4003E-PC84 chips on each BORG board. The following steps can be used to download a design to BORG board.

  1. Create bitstreams .bit for all 4 Xilinx 4003E chips.
    Concatenate all the bits stream into an MCS format file.
    The bit streams must be arranged in the following order: R1 -> X1 -> R2 -> X2 
         promgen -p mcs -o design.mcs -u 0 r1.bit x1.bit r2.bit x2.bit

  2. To download the .mcs file:

    bd design.mcs
