There isn't a prompt, but recent revisions of tcpborphserver3 generate unsolicited #fpga inform messages when the fpga changes status from unprogrammed to programmed and vice versa (like a log message, but easier to parse). You might have a slightly older version... but don't update just yet, as there is still a bugfix pending for problems with the ?write operation > Also, upload command does not copy the design to /usr/bof/ directory. Yes. > Also, then > is progdev command redundant if one is using upload? If you (by other means) get a file into /usr/bof, then you can still use progdev. And as Dave mentioned, it can be used to deprogram the fpga. regards marc
