FPGA tools on windows

Xilinx ISE, Catapult, etc is currently situated on ifiserv-851.ifi.uio.no Please notify the engineer in ROBIN if there are issues.

2428, LISP was installed with the newest available ISE, Catapult, Modelsim and Digilent Adept for inf 5430 in the spring semester 2012.

List of FPGA tools available on Linux

Note that the tools available on windows, such as Xilinx ISE and Modelsim is not supported on Linux.

0in
Catapult_C
FormalPro
Modelsim
Xilinx

Digilent Adept to program the Atlys board can be obtained from the Digilent website.

Starting xterm with all tools available

Note that all files were moved to from midgard to bifrost in december 2011. This means that if you did the following in november 2011, you will have to do it again to make it work.


First time initialization

>cd ~
>mkdir fpgatools
>cd fpgatools/
>/hom/mes/src/FPGATools/init_fpgatools

note that when starting using run, you get an xterm with .bash_fpgatools (invisible when using ls-l) as source. Since spring 2012, we have moved the license file to tollheimtu from pordoi. The .bash_fpgatools will need to be upgraded either manually or by doing the initialization over again.

Launch

>cd ~/fpgatools
>run

Use the new xterm window that pops up to start the FPGA tool you like. Paths to all the major components should be ready in the new xterm.

To start Modelsim type vsim
To start Xilinx (ISE) type ise 
To start PlanAhead type planAhead
etc

License server

Licenses can be checked out from tollheimtu: export LM_LICENSE_FILE=5370@tollheimtu.ifi.uio.no
