| It is a good idea to make an **ECEn220** folder in your J Drive, make a **labs** folder inside of that. You should also create a sub-directory for each lab in the course. You will be generating a lot of files for these labs and need to keep them separate. | It is a good idea to make an **ECEn220** folder in your J Drive, make a **labs** folder inside of that.

| - | So, why is the text below in <color red>red</color>? You will be completing a lab writeup on Learning Suite. Things in the labs are marked red to signal to you that those things are some of what will be asked for as you complete the lab writeup. As you run across them, you should write the questions and answers in your lab notebook so when you go to complete the lab writeup you will have the information you need. | ||

| In this next exercise, you will configure the FPGA with a different circuit. To use and experiment with this new circuit, you need to load {{ :labs:nexys4byuuserdemo.bit |this configuration, or bit, file}} onto the FPGA. You will be loading bit files on the the FPGA for **every** lab each week. You will be creating your own bit files in future lab assignments from the circuits you design. | In this next exercise, you will configure the FPGA with a different circuit.
