Hello Steven I have actually purchased A Xilinx kit thinking that linux version of webpack would be available. I do not have Windows installed on my system. Is there any plan to release webpack for Linux users? I am hoping Xilinx would release one very soon.

Actually, in my company the only missing EDA link for Windows - Linux shift is Xilinx ISE. ;O( I don't care very much for a release date --if there really is a Linux ISE coming that would be a relief and will let us plan things accordingly.

It is Webpack that has not yet been released in a Linux version. Since Webpack is basically just ISE limited to certain devices, I would not expect a long wait. As a wild guess, maybe Xilinx wants to use their (probably somewhat more savy) ISE customers to find bugs, before releasing Webpack. -- My real email is akamail.com@dclark (or something like that).

If so Xilinx would have to pay a license fee for every Linux version they sell or give away. If this is the case I would not expect a Linux Webpack since they would loose money on each download.

The Linux version of WebPACK is not scheduled, but as I posted in June, it will probably be in our 7.1 release (Sept '04). We use Bristol to get our Windows GUIs working on Solaris and Linux and yes, we do pay a royalty per seat. For now, Linux users will have to use Wine or purchase ISE BaseX.
