Solution 1:

The Foundation Service Pack upgrades Xilinx Foundation v6.0.1
to v6.0.2.  This upgraded version features many enhancements
that make the Foundation tools easier to use and will
increase your productivity.

Full details on the improvements in the Service Pack can be
found in the "What's New" help files.  These files are
installed along with the Service Pack, or you can download
them separately.  For information on the Project Manager,
Schematic Editor, and Simulator, download (Xilinx File

ments in the XVHDL compiler, download
(Xilinx File

The Service Pack consists of several files, which are
available on the Xilinx FTP site:
