Auto FPGA Program

Hi there,

Is there a way to auto program FPGA when power ON without programming again. I mean Can I save the program in SDcard and load when I switch on the power so that it will never loose the program when the device power off. This the common problem with FPGA, Can any one help me with this problem please.

    All FPGA lose their configuration when you power off as they have no static ram. They need to be configured from an external source, like a flash chip, or microprocessor.
