Does OGD1could be used by people only interrested on software part (drivers) ?
This kind of guy could buy the OGD1 and use only "official binary delivrery" of open graphics (or what ever other project). For that, he needs a means to charge the bitstream inside OGD1 without any special tools (very costly most of the time). So it could be great to link a tutorial to how download a bitstream in the FPGA card.
