Hello World VHDL (Blinking LED):

entity LEDtest is
  port (
    clk: in bit;
    LED1: out bit;
    LED2: out bit
  );
end LEDtest;

architecture BEHAVIOUR of LEDtest is
  signal count: integer range 0 to 16777215;
  signal tmp:bit:='0';
begin
  IN_process: process (clk)
    begin
      if clk'event and clk = '1' then
        count<=count+1;
	if count=16777215 then
	  count<=0;
	  tmp<=not tmp;
	  LED1<=tmp;
	  LED2<=not tmp;
	end if;  
      end if;
    end process;
end BEHAVIOUR;

With the following constraints file:

# Crystal Clock - use 32MHz onboard oscillator
NET "clk" LOC = "P89" | IOSTANDARD = LVCMOS25 | PERIOD = 31.25ns ;

# Wing1 Column A
NET "LED1" LOC = "P91";	
NET "LED2" LOC = "P92";

Use xc3prog to send to FPGA:

#just once (erased on reboot):
sudo ./xc3sprog -c papilio ~/VHDL/LEDTest/LEDtest.bit  -v

#or use FTDI & FLASH to make non-volatile:
sudo ./xc3sprog -c papilio -I../bscan_spi/bscan_spi_xc3s500e_papilio.bit ~/VHDL/LEDTest/LEDtest.bit  -v -R

Compiling xc3prog

Tested on Ubuntu 13.04 (beta)

sudo aptitude install libftdi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev cmake
git clone git://github.com/GadgetFactory/Papilio-Loader.git
cd Papilio-Loader/xc3sprog/trunk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo ./xc3sprog -c papilio ~/VHDL/AWGprovo/mem2.bit -v
