Hi,

Im a poor student who purchased the 6.3 version of the EDK a few months back. Uptill now I
have been using the evaluation version of ISE 6.3 (too expensive for me). I have been
unable to use the WebPack version of the ISE 6.3 since "all" I have is a Virtex4
LX25. I had been planning to switch to the ISE 7.1 webpack (which supports my device) but
I am unable to get it working with my EDK 6.3 installation. I get the following error:

$XILINX does not point to an iSE 6.3 installation

Isnt it possible to use the ISE 7.1 webpack with EKD 6.3 ??

thanks

Hi..
      I dunno If I am correct or not..But what I think is that u r
having path problems I guess...

I thought you need to have the same version of both
to get them to work properly

Either go back to ise 6.3 or wait for edk 7.1

Usually better off staying behind a version or two

Can download old versions of web pack
http://www.xilinx.com/webpack/classics/wpclassic/index.htm

If your a university student surely your university can request the full 
software via XUP
Xilinx university program.

Another option would be to buy a textbook with  or by itself
the student version of 6.3 which is same as full ise but without
any support.

I have bought the Xilinx FPGA S3 Starterkit , and have a ISE Webpack ,
and a time limited ISE 6.2i

Am i understanding thic correct , that the above is a full ISE6.3i
with no timelimit ??? , and i guess the "No support" means no upgrade
path possible or ????

Regards
Carsten

If you question is whether Webpack is the full ISE, the answer is no.
Webpack doesn't support the largest devices, and it doesn't include the
FPGA Editor and Core Generator, and probably has some other pieces left
out as well.  However, Webpack 6.3i (and 7.1i) are still very useful,
and the price is right.

If Webpack had been available for Linux six months ago, I probably
wouldn't have purchased a copy of ISE BaseX, but I don't regret it.

The "Xilinx Student Edition (XSE) 6.3i" is equivalent to the
commercial-edition
ISE BaseX 6.3.  It includes everything except the "FPGA editor" package
and technical-support.  Xilinx's CoreGen is included (at least it was
included with XSE 2.1 and XSE 4.2)  Looking at an old comparison-chart,
it doesn't look like ISE BaseX 6.3 supports your Virtex4/LX25.
