Hi,
I have finish all the steps following https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrrk2/docs/xilinx/. After the command ''make nexys4_ddr_rocket_cfgmem'' ,

After I insert the SD-card, set all the SW to '0' and PROG , my VGA is alway black.

Research direction

Start with the documented `make nexys4_ddr_rocket_cfgmem` flow and the reported Nexys A7 setup, then reproduce the black VGA output after programming the SD card and setting all switches to 0. Trace the FPGA demo's configuration and VGA path; done means the programmed board displays the expected VGA output under those steps.
