| 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.

| - | Follow [[tutorials:downloading_bitfile|this tutorial]] to program the FPGA with the new bit file! | + | In this case, download the above bitfile onto your computer using whatever mechanism your browser supports. |
| - | If you are using **Option #3**, however, once you get the bitfile onto your computer, you will run Adept and select it to program onto your board. Ask a TA if you need help with Adept. | + | Then, if you are using **Option #1** or **Options #2**, follow [[tutorials:downloading_bitfile|this tutorial]] (top part) to program the FPGA with the new bit file using Xilinx tools. |
