<ademenev> Hi
<ademenev> I do not understand this from the readme:
<ademenev> arty in the example below is one of the many FPGA board configurations listed here.
<ademenev> openFPGALoader -b arty arty_bitstream.bit # Loading in SRAM
<ademenev> openFPGALoader -b arty -f arty_bitstream.bit # Writing in flash
<ademenev> You can also specify a JTAG cable model (complete list here) instead of the board model:
<ademenev> openFPGALoader -c cmsisdap fpga_bitstream.bit
<ademenev> I am trying to figure out whether is is possible to program a Gowin FPGA with an easily available JTAG adapter. And I read the above as "only the cable matters"
<jeanthomas> ademenev: yes
<jeanthomas> board is sometimes useful when the cable configuration is specific to the board
<jeanthomas> eg. FTDI chips which can have varying configurations
