Xilinx EDK on Linux

Started by Simon March 22, 2005
Hi folks, two things about the EDK on Linux:

1) If I have paid for BaseX 6.3i (and received an upgrade to 7.1i), and 
also paid for the EDK 6.3, is there an upgrade path for the EDK as well 
? I've only just bought the EDK, do I have to buy it again, or is it 
under the same upgrade conditions as ISE ? Or is it just not ready yet ?

2) I think I've found a bug in the EDK's X interface - if you serve the 
DISPLAY to a remote machine (in my case, a Mac):

   (a) The drop-down menus appear at the top-left screen co-ords,
       not under the mouse

   (b) More importantly, the Wizard that builds a starting point for
       new designs cannot proceed beyond the 'add a peripheral' stage.
       No peripherals are shown, and 'Next' just leaves you in the same
       state (ie: nothing seems to happen when you press it).

Neither of these are critical, but thought I'd mention it. As to *why* 
I'm serving the display to my Mac, well the linux box has a 1024x768 
display, and the Mac has a 30" 2560x1600 screen. Which would you prefer 
? [grin]

Cheers,

	Simon.
