Problem Title:
Are M1 BIT files compatible with XCHECKER 5.x?


Problem Description:
The M1 toolset does not contain a stand alone non-GUI based download tool as xch
ecker was in XACT-Step 5.x.  In M1 the Hardware Debugger is the download tool.


BIT files generated by BITGEN M1.x can also be downloaded to devices with xcheck
er 5.x; However, for devices that were not supported by XACT 5.x (ie xc4000EX/XL
) download with an .rbt file is all that can be used.  Other xchecker functions,
 such as readback, cannot be performed.


Solution 1:

There are not any plans to change this.
