With the logic design completed, you are ready to generate the
bitstream (.bit
file). Actually, you should simulate first but we won't cover that here. Making
a bitstream is easily done with xmake. In an x-term, change to
the project directory (~/tutorial
for example) and type xmake
pass
(pass is the name of the main project
file). If there are no problems with the design, the various Xilinx
tools will be invoked and pass.bit
will be generated. It will take several minutes. Xmake also generates
a number of files that contain all kinds of information about
your design. You can look through them if you're interested. You
need the correct path in your path statement to run xmake. It
is listed below. You can also use a bitstream that is already made. Go on
to the next for details.
