happens exactly the same thing when you send code written in verilog.

Ashu,

You don't send code through the JTAG. Your code needs to be transformed into a bitstream that completely describes how all the bits in the FPGA should be set (describing what is in all of the LUTs and how they are connected). This bitstream is what you send through the JTAG. There are a number of steps between entering your code and generating this bitstream. Go to the Xilinx or Altera sites (or just google) and search for 'design flow'. Good luck,

Ashu, you have to ask the wizard of OZ
