Any Way to Download a XNF to FPGA?

(Vintage December 1994. )

(assuming you are using an XC4000 style device, and version 5.2.1 SW)

1)xnfmerge filename.xnf       <<< this is your xnf file

2) xnfprep filename              <<<merge generated an .xff file, and this
                                                  turns it into a .xtf file

3) ppr filename                    <<< ppr turns the .xtf into .lca

4) makebits filename            <<< this turns the .lca file into a .bit file

5) xchecker filename            <<< this takes the .bit file and downloads it to a chip.
