PROMGen Overview
PROMGen formats a BitGen-generated configuration bitstream (BIT) file into a PROM
format file. The PROM file contains configuration data for the FPGA device. PROMGen
converts a BIT file into one of three PROM formats: MCS-86 (Intel), EXORMAX (Motorola),
or TEKHEX (Tektronix). It can also generate a binary or hexadecimal file format.
