Hello,

With Xilinx ISE, I have create a small project. I have a .bit file that
I can download into the fpga with Impact. It works well !
But now, I want to download the corresponding configuration file into
the flash. Impact asks me to select a .mcs file, and I have no .mcs
file. What can I do create such a file ?
Thanks.

ISE

Generate Programming File
Generate PROM, ACE or JTAG File

then select proper setting and generate .MCS

then switcg impact to programming mode and configure the flash device
