NAME

       openFPGALoader - flash FPGAs

SYNOPSIS

       openFPGALoader [OPTION...] BIT_FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Universal  utility  for  programming  FPGAs.  Compatible  with  many  boards,  cables and FPGA from major
       manufacturers (Xilinx, Altera/Intel, Lattice, Gowin, Efinix, Anlogic, Cologne Chip). openFPGALoader works
       on Linux, Windows and macOS.
