Start Xilinx command prompt environment (if you are in GNU/Linux just source the settings.sh file) if you are using Windows, go to start -> Xilinx Design Tools -> Accessories -> ISE Design Suite command prompt, once it is launched

 +xmd -nx -tcl flashwriter.tcl vx.tcl

 +    * for the board labeled 1233 (serial number sticker) you should use mac_addr_temac-1233.bin
 +    * for the board labeled 1234 use mac_addr_temac-1234.bin
 +    * You should run xmd -nx -hw system.xml -tcl flashwriter.tcl mac.tcl
 + 
 + If you want to try a firmware just start xmd by typing xmd in Xilinx shells/command prompt
 +Then type: fpga –f download.bit
 +This should download the bitstream and immediately start the vxworks OS.
