# Efinix notes

## Firant and Xyloni boards (efinix trion T8)

*.hex* file is the default format generated by *Efinity IDE*, so nothing
special must be done to generates this file.

*openFPGALoader* support only active mode (SPI) (*JTAG* is WIP).

__hex file load__

```bash
openFPGALoader -b fireant /somewhere/project/outflow/*.hex
```
or, for xyloni board
```bash
openFPGALoader -b xyloni_spi /somewhere/project/outflow/*.hex
```

Since openFPGALoader access the flash directly in SPI mode the *-b fireant*, *-b xyloni_spi* is required (no autodetection possible)
