Yes, that's what I need to do.. I downloaded the Xilinx developer code. Wow - there's a lot of it, but it seems it caters for all of their products. Can anyone help kickstart my vhdl tinkering by a quick description of the development process to create the .bit files that you load onto the Xilinx chip on the Mesa board?
