Hello André, The method I described using JTAG is not very useful for the moment since it freezes the running system (OS, serial ports, ...). The only point is that you can test your code with GPIOs and LEDs ... As I wrote on the wiki, there is a Xilinx bitstream which is embedded in the BIOS file of the net6501 [1]. Replacing this bitstream and reflashing the BIOS might be a way to gain persistence across cold reboot. Before trying this, we need more information about the minimal requirements for the FPGA image in order to avoid system freeze (and bricked net6501 ...)
