Xilinx EDK 9.2I Requirements, Supported Platforms, Operating Systems, Xilinx Fpga Families

R

•Software Development Kit (SDK), Eclipse-based IDE

•GNU Compiler and Debugger for C development for MicroBlaze™ and PowerPC® processors

•Documentation

•Sample projects

Except for the release notes and the EDK Concepts, Tools, and Techniques book, EDK does not include printed documentation material. Refer to the “Documentation” section for a list of documents available. Also not included but available as separate products are FPGA development boards and the Xilinx FPGA implementation tools package, ISE™ 9.2i. Refer to the “Requirements” and the “Development Boards” sections for further details.

Requirements

•Xilinx ISE 9.2i, Service Pack 3

The Xilinx FPGA design implementation tools, ISE 9.2i (WebPACK or Foundation), are required to implement embedded designs generated with the XPS tools. Several EDK tools use functionality delivered with tools contained in ISE 9.2i.

Note: Updates to ISE 9.2i including service packs are available at: http://www.xilinx.com/support/mysupport.htm.

•Development Board

To test your MicroBlaze processor or PowerPC processor system on an FPGA, you must have access to a development board that contains a Xilinx FPGA and several other components as well as standard download, configuration, and debug connectors.

Operating system specific requirements:

•Solaris and Linux – Bash shell

Supported Platforms
