I can only install later versions of the Spartan devices and not the XL family. Can I get some suggestions on what I should do to use Spartan XL? I dont want to go to the WebPack Option. Thanks Anup ###### From: "Neeraj Varma" Newsgroups: comp.arch.fpga References: <3F09321B.786229F8@asc.corp.mot.com> Subject: Re: Spartan XL Tool Support Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 15:11:37 +0530 Lines: 34 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 NNTP-Posting-Host: 203.196.158.194 Message-ID: <3f09405e@shknews01> X-Trace: shknews01 1057570910 203.196.158.194 (7 Jul 2003 17:41:50 +0800) Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!irazu.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.icl.net!newsfeed.fjserv.net!newsfeed.freenet.de!nntp.gblx.net!news2.ilink.net!shknews01 Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch comp.arch.fpga:30492 Hi Anup, Current 5.2i version does not support SpartanXL. For using the XC4000 or Spartan/XL devices, you should download the free ISE-Classics package (which is basically version 4.2i +Sp-3) from here for the PAR support (no synthesis): http://www.xilinx.com/webpack/classics/index.htm For synthesis, you should use the old FPGA Express if you still have the license, or go with a 3rd party synthesis tool like Leonardo/Synplify. If you are based in India, I can help you with a CD, send me an email offline. --Neeraj "Anup Kumar Raghavan" wrote in message news:3F09321B.786229F8@asc.corp.mot.com... > Hello I want to use Spartan XL FPGA for a project and found out that my > installation of the Xilinx ISE 5.2 i (Alliance) does not support this > device. > I can only install later versions of the Spartan devices and not the XL > family. > > Can I get some suggestions on what I should do to use Spartan XL?
