The title basically says it all. Unfortunately the bigger 32x11 fabric could not be implemented since the NexysVideo does not have enough LDCE cells. Therefore only the bitfile for the smaller 10x10 fabric is provided.

Also added a hint that the a cable has to be plugged into the board's UART port for uploading a bitstream to the FABulous fabric.

I'm a bit unsure if it is a good Idea to place these top file just in the Fabric folder.
We should maybe just name it something like emulation_top.v or place them somewhere else.

Yeah good point! We could put them instead into a directory called e.g. toplevel_files inside vivado_emulation and then name the files fabric_x_y_top.v. This way we would have a better separation between the fabric and the emulation setup.
