Cadence XIL2CDS availability / how to obtain XIL2CDS


Solution 1:

Note: Install the CONCEPT2XIL patch before installing the XIL2CDS
      patch.  See (Xilinx Solution 2766).


XIL2CDS, the Cadence Concept board level integration tool,
is availible on the Cadence FTP site.

It can be accessed as follows:

Using your Web browser, navigate to the
Cadence PIC (Programmable Integrated Circuit interfaces)
area for the 97B release:

   ftp://ftp.cadence.com/patches/97B/pic


From here, navigate to the appropriate platform (sun4, sun4v,
hp, etc.), and download the following file:

   xilM1BA97.02-s001sun4v.t.Z

Note: The above file is for Solaris.  If using a differnt platform,
      substitute "sun4v" in the filename for the appropriate platform
      being used.

This archive should then be copied to and extracted in your
Cadence install directory. The netlister gets installed to

   $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/pic/picdesigner/bin
