Bitstream Format

From 2018.3 release onwards FPGA Manager supports loading of vivado and bootgen generated Bitstream and Bin files vivadobootgen [1]

Note: For releases earlier to 2018.3 FPGA Manager was capable of loading only bootgen generated bin files. bootgen

.Bit Format

• Generated by Vivado

.Bin Format

• Generated by Vivado
• Generated by Bootgen by converting vivado generated bit file Bootgen Command to generate bin file: # bootgen -image Bitstream.bif -arch zynqmp -o ./Bitstream.bin -w (2018.1 or later releases) # bootgen -image Bitstream.bif -arch zynqmp -process_Bitstream bin (2017.4 and earlier releases) Bitstream.bif file should contains the below lines:

all:
{
        [destination_device = pl] Full.bit (or)  Partial.bit /* Bitstream file name */
}
