Using BUS'es in ISE WebPACK 3.3WP8.1 ???

BUMP!

Anybody ??? I can't be the only one with this problem....

It appears you have hit the limit on Xilinx tolerance for older parts. I was able to find a datasheet for the device, though.

The datasheet is dated Feb. 10, 2000 - which means you probably need ISE 4.x. You might try the classic webpacks, and see if they have something that goes back that far.

I have a copy of 4.2i at work, so I can check back Monday with whether it supports this device or not. I suspect it will, as the datasheet specifically mentions that you can use VHDL/Verilog in addition to ABEL and schematic capture.

If you are interested in HDL design, learn simulation first. If you want to flash LEDs ASAP, get a newer demo board.

Mike, i want to do some simple adress-decoding that is time-critical, where a PIC micro won't do it fast enough.

I don't have a demo board at this point, and won't buy a CPLD one anytime soon, if i buy anything, it will be a Spartan 3E or bigger.

At the moment i am using a shitload of modules from my ex-employment company which is 72-pins SIMM modules with 2 * XCR5064C, a PIC, some

Seth, i would be VERY glad if you would check up on this, since the 3.3 version is pretty mangled in contrast to 8.1 - there is a lot that simply doesn't work. there is a contraints-editor in the program folder but i can't call it from the project manager, it's just not listed as an option, and running it manually doesn't help since i don't have the NGD-file.... Very frustrating. i have learned how to make the file manually, but it's a lot easier for me if it was in a program and not notepad.

Is that one the re-banded PZ5064 Philips die ?

- if so, you might be able to find and use the Philips Coolrunner tools ?

If you need a "5V for-new-designs" part, look at the Atmel ATF1502ASL, and ATF1504ASL - will do simple address decode very easily.

JG, the chips says Xilinx with the Original logo, but early procuction chips says Philips :-)

I have two chips in PLCC packaging (from development of the modules) - that is Indeed Philips parts too, it acts as the Xilinx part 100%

I am not doing any "designs", this is pure hobby. i have bough a lot of Xilinx 9572XL in PLCC packaging, that is ample for my needs at this time.

I really like the workspace of the Xilinx software, so jumping to another platform is not something i would like to do at this moment.
