Hello I want to use Spartan XL FPGA for a project and found out that my installation of the Xilinx ISE 5.2 i (Alliance) does not support this device. I can only install later versions of the Spartan devices and not the XL family. Can I get some suggestions on what I should do to use Spartan XL? I dont want to go to the WebPack Option. Thanks Anup

Hi Anup, Current 5.2i version does not support SpartanXL. For using the XC4000 or Spartan/XL devices, you should download the free ISE-Classics package (which is basically version 4.2i +Sp-3) from here for the PAR support (no synthesis): http://www.xilinx.com/webpack/classics/index.htm For synthesis, you should use the old FPGA Express if you still have the license, or go with a 3rd party synthesis tool like Leonardo/Synplify. If you are based in India, I can help you with a CD, send me an email offline. --Neeraj "Anup Kumar Raghavan" <araghava@asc.corp.mot.com> wrote in message news:3F09321B.786229F8@asc.corp.mot.com...> Hello I want to use Spartan XL FPGA for a project and found out that my > installation of the Xilinx ISE 5.2 i (Alliance) does not support this > device. > I can only install later versions of the Spartan devices and not the XL > family. > > Can I get some suggestions on what I should do to use Spartan XL?
