A Xilinx PROM file consists of one or more data streams. In this
context, a data stream represents all the configuration data required
to implement a given application. Each data stream contains one or
more BIT files and once saved, will have a separate preamble and
length count.
The PROM file can be formatted in one of three industry standard
formats: Intel MCS-86
macs.
Note: You can also format BIT files into a HEX format file. This file
type is not considered a PROM file since you cannot use it to program
PROM devices. A HEX format file is ordinarily used as input to user-
defined programs for microprocessor downloads.
You can store PROM files in PROM devices or on your computer. In
turn, you can use the files to program your FPGA devices either from
a PROM device on your board or from your computer using a serial
or parallel cable. Refer to the Hardware Debugger Reference/User Guide
for more information.
Refer to the PROM File Formatter Guide in the online book collection
for complete information on the PROM File Formatter.
