Problem Title:
Foundation F1.5: CPLD update available on FTP site
Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot
General Description:
*****This update does not apply to 1.5i *****
This update is for the Foundation V1.5 software operating on Win 95 & NT 4.0.
This update includes all files necessary to update the XC9500 and XC9500XL
families with new speed file and package data. This file will also update the
Foundation Series V1.5 software to recognize these CPLD device speed changes.
This update also includes 'advanced' speed information for the:
XC9536XL-4, XC9572XL & 144XL -5 and XC95288XL-6 devices.
Support for XC95144XL device programming is also included in this update!
Solution 1:
***** Do not install this patch if you are using 1.5i. It will corrupt your install. *****
This patch is included in the F1.5i newer version of the software or you can
download the CPLD patch to add to your F1.5 version from the Xilinx FTP Site:
ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/f15_cpld_nt3.zip
Installation Instructions:
First, two files in your existing Foundation install area must be modified.
Within Windows Explorer, navigate to the FNDTN\SYNTH\LIB directory.
Select XC9500.pts, right click, and select Properties. Uncheck the
'Read-only' box. Do the same for the XC9500XL.pts file.
Always make a backup of the files that you are going to replace as a
precautionary measure. Copy the file "cpld_nt3_f15.zip" into a temporary
directory. Unzip the file into the $XILINX directory (usually 'C:\FNDTN')
with the "Use Folder Names" box checked, if using WinZip or by using
the "-d" switch when using PKUNZIP.
