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 xchecker was in XACT-St ep 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 xchecker 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.
