XMD setup

We will use XMD to program the FPGA and run the embedded software on the PPC core.

On Fedora and Ubuntu, you have to install 3rd party Xilinx USB cable drivers, link.

Once in XMD prompt type

fpga -f system.bit
connect ppc hw
dow simpleImage.virtex440-cobo02_nfs.elf
run

system.bit is the FPGA's bitstream. simpleImage.virtex440-cobo02_nfs.elf is the ELF image we are trying to run on the PowerPC core.
