Hello,

Thanks for the file!

you're welcome.

What the problem with the loadb command ?

IIRC loadb did not parse the header correctly.

and what is the difference between the loadb and load ?

loadb gets a .bit file while load gets a .bin file. .bin file is the pure bitstream while .bit = <header> + .bin. The header provides information about bitstream name, creation date etc.

Hi Nicolas,

I used the patch provided by Kurt Stremerch (see attached file). However I was not able to make the "fpga loadb" command to work while "fpga load" works fine. Then I applied the patch posted by Andrew Dyer to the mailing list but loadb still did not work (for me this is not a problem).

HTH, llandre

Hi Ilandre and Kurt,

I need to download my Spartan 3 by using uboot and I was wondering if someone had already written something for that. I found your mails but unfortunately not the patch. :( This patch will be added to the next uboot version ?? Where can I find it

?

Thanks in advance.
