So, thinking I was on to a winner as I used this board during my time at uni, I downloaded and installed Xilinx ISE WebPACK.īut the problem is, it barely works in 64-bit mode on Windows 8 :palm: The license manager and Project Navigator both just close when you try to open a file and PlanAhead only works in 32-bit mode. I recently scored a Spartan 3E Starter Board on eBay.
XILINX ISE 14.7 GETTING STARTED ZIP FILE
zip file needed to fix PlanAhead to run in 32-bit mode.ġ0/8/15: This guide will also work for Windows 10 64-bit :-+ In case that link doesn't work in the future, I've decided to post it here as well, as well as the. I would hate to think of how slow everything would run when trying to optimize a design using SmartExplorer. Thanks to him for that because that virtual machine download, made for Win10, from Xilinx runs like crap. Thanks to 'BytesGuy' in the link, he figured out a way to get it working.

So those of us with newer/faster desktops running Windows 10 are in need of this modification because Xilinx no longer devotes time to maintain ISE14.7 ALTHOUGH these IC families are still being produced. 8-64-bit/ĮDIT: ISE14.7 is the latest version of Xilinx's software that can generate a file necessary for programming older families of their CPLD's and FPGA's, like like the Spartan 6 and even the 5V XC95xx CPLDs.
XILINX ISE 14.7 GETTING STARTED INSTALL
Here is the link I found when today I first tried to install ISE14.7 1015.1 on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine.
