*******************************

From aocl flash. It doesn't matter what parameters I put after aocl flash, it prints the help message.

***************************

e:\>aocl flash acl0 boardtest.aocx

aocl flash - Initialize the FPGA with a specific startup configuration.

Usage: aocl flash <device_name> <file.aocx>

Supply the .aocx file for the design you wish to set as the default

configuration which is loaded on power up.

Description:

This command initializes the board with a default configuration

that is loaded onto the FPGA on power up. Not all boards will

support this, check with your board vendor documentation.
