Board Working!

Finally got the board working. I had initially used Adept and fxloader to flash the firmware but it turns out there seems to be a problem with fxloader. So I used libFPGAlink. I used the wiki by mithro on the same and after some efforts things starts to work.

(Lets ignore the tooth brush)
Now I am planning to try to improve the frequency of the operation of the JPEG encoder. Simulations show that at 100Mhz, 20Hz can be achieved for 1080p images. I am planning to run smartXplorer on the design and see which mapping and PAR strategy is the best. Also I will try to removing the timing violation as ISE slows other parts of the design to meet the timing requirements. So lets see how things work out.
