Working

 Load a Bit File

Load a bit file of your choice by selecting the Target .bit file field.
BitFile
Select either FPGA or SPI Flash. FPGA will load the bit file directly to the FPGA which is faster but does not stick when power is lost. SPI Flash loads the bit file to SPI Flash which will be loaded every time power is applied to the board.
SPI
Select “Run” to load the bit file.
