Working with xilinx FPGAs sometimes you need to convert an existing MCS file to binary. The bitstream generator can be set to output bin directly, but should you need to convert after the fact, a handy little utility called srec_cat can do it for you very simply. Get srecord here: https://srecord.sourceforge.net/

srec_cat inputMcsFile.mcs -intel -o outputBinFile.bin -binary
