 This tutorial will walk you through what you need to know to get started on your projects and program your Zedboard using each of the three possible methods. It is recommended that you first complete the "Getting Started with Vivado" guide before continuing with this project. This tutorial will walk you through what you need to know to get started on your projects and program your Zedboard using each of the three possible methods.

 It is important to note that the SD card that you select to program the Zedboard with must be formatted in Fat32. Other than that your device doesn't have to be empty and can contain other files and folders. It is important to note that the SD card that you select to program the Zedboard with must be formatted in Fat32.

-Once finished your board should function exactly as it did when programming it with JTAG. Whether you were aware or not you just successfully programmed your Basys3 board two separate ways using the same .bit file.+

-Quad SPI Flash is a non-volatile memory that the Basys3's FPGA chip looks at on every startup. If Quad SPI is flashed then the FPGA will program itself with the contents found in Quad SPI's flash memory. This method of programming your board is great when you have a final project that you would like to demo or display that doesn't need to be edited and therefore reprogrammed.+Quad SPI Flash is a non-volatile memory that the Zedboard's Zynq chip looks at on every startup.
