OS for Xilinx tools - stephen.craven@gmail.com - 2009-10-22 09:17:00
Xilinx users, I have seemingly contradictory desires: a 64-bit OS and the ability to run all of the Xilinx tools, including AccelDSP. The official Xilinx list of supported OSes shows only the 32-bit version of XP as supporting everything. http://www.xilinx.com/ise/ossupport/index.htm Is it possible to run the Xilinx tools under a Windows-based 64-bit OS? Would I see benefits from the increased memory that 64-bit OSes provide? Thank you, Stephen

The larger FPGAs require much more memory then a 32 bit OS has access to. The Linux version supports 64 bit Linux and has done so for years.
