ISE 8.1i WebPack available

I like the new Xilinx Webpack 8.1i interface under Linux, it works great.
I am running the Webpack under Gentoo Linux with a 2.6.14 kernel.  The
Impact tool works well with the parallel port under Linux.  I updated the
Gentoo HOWTO-Xilinx at: 

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xilinx 

with the steps that I took to get everything installed and working properly,
including the kernel modules needed to get the parallel port JTAG working.

Take care,
-Chris

On Suse 10.0 with Kernel 2.6.13-15.7-default, Windriver 
WD700.tgz didn't compile. Insight UK offers a free download for WD702 after
registration:  
http://shop.directinsight.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=722
udev is active on my Suse machine, I didn't have to disable it for windriver
to compile, so perhaps with 702 your FAQ needs to be revised with regards to
udev.

I hope XILINX will use ppdev for parallel port access sometimes, like
libusb could be used for the USB access. This windriver things is a constant
source of trouble...

I didn't had to change the DISPLAY variable as I had before up to 7.1. Is
setting $DISPLAY to :0 still needed on your setup?

Bye

AFAIK, the Win32 version of the Webpack contains Modelsim. Does the
Linux version contain it too?

Bye Tom

Modelsim has to be downloaded and licensed seperately.

No, it's a separate download.

The Xilinx edition is only available for Windows.

AFAIK Webpack includes ISE Simulator on both Windows and Linux.

You don't need the DISPLAY :0 for ise project navigator and impact but
you still need it for almost all the other progz (PACE, FPGA editor,
FloorPlanner etc).
