Loading programming file on Basys FPGA board

[erenkcms]

hi everybody,
i am learning FPGA but i have got problem. after i wrote code in ise with vhdl language, how can i load to FPGA board( i found digilent adept suite is it right program for load fpga?)? and where we set pin number? for example we write code as a: in std_logic b: std_logic but when we load to fpga this code here a and b which pins???? so where we adjust this pins???
please help me

Re: Basys FPGA Board

you can assign your signals to actual pins by providing pin location constraints.
there are two ways to do this

1. write a text file with UCF extention.
2. Use PACE utility available in ISE.

please refer

thank you..
i used PACE but when i used it, my code didn't run again then i thought that this was wrong. also how this code send to FPGA??? i used digilent adapt suite. is it true program??

Re: Basys FPGA Board

Hi erenkcms,
to configure the target device, in the case of Basys FPGA Board, later of generate programming file (*.bit), you need use the digilent adept suite 2.1, you could use this manual or later install the software Adept go to Start -> Programs -> Digilent -> Adept -> Adept User's Manual
I hope this help.
