xilinx - whats up? I clicked the spartan-3AN link from inside the html
email sent to my email.
in response a website opened, says redirecting to xilinx website,
and... a continous clicking sound
from speaker... and ... at the same time google groups refused to
work, saying that my computer
or network is sending requests to them. I will re-run additional virus
scans (I have anti-virus software
installed and active).

still, why does Xilinx send email with link to Spartan-3AN when does
links do not work
why are there no links to Spartan-3AN from xilinx website??

is the webmaster really again on vaccation !!??

hope the S-3AN info appears soon on Xilinx website.

This is the link that makes the clicking sound when opened in
webbrowser.

Hi Antti,
Yes, seems quite broken.   Someone in Xilinx did _test_ this, right ?

Lets hope that their design and verify flows for their silicon are of
a considerably higher
standard than their Web pages ?!

Whilst we are waiting for Xilinx to get their act together, perhaps
you could give your thoughts
on what's new in the 3AN series, appart from just dropping some flash
into the package ?

-jg

Cat out of the bag?

Well, sure looks like the website folks are going to have some
embarrassment from this.

Yes, that link is certainly broken.

As for 3AN, I have to wait until the release to talk about it, unless
you were already one of the "early adopters" and are under NDA.  In that
case, you already know everything.

ok, the info about S3AN is mostly derived from ISE 9.1

the features are pretty much the same as S-3A, eg all same devices,
unfortunatly it also looks like same packages, means no neat small
packages available:(

so basically take S3-A with all the nice features it has + add
nonvolatile memory into the package.
the memory can also be used to store user data like embedded firmware
or other data.

to be very short thats all i can say. its a lot actually counting the
small nice things S3-A has.

I assume this means S-3AN ___ARE__ officially launched or whatelse
should I understand from the above mailing?

was the email sent too early as accident? I assume not.

Antti

Antti,

Too early?  Accident?  Just don't know (yet).

Obviously the email has detailed many of the features.

But, so far, I have heard nothing from my inquiries here.

must be the (ro)bots have taken control at 2100 Logic Dr. ;)

I was so happily surprised to see the Xilin official announcement in
my mail
(actually 2 copies of it) that I assumed it really is officially
launched as of today and now.

but its still working hours at eastcoast, so maybe things to get
cleared up.
