Module Descriptions
To download the software, click the
option to download the complete ISE WebPACK tool suite, only the tools required for
CPLD designs or only the programming tools. Xilinx recommends that, if the space is
available, the entire tool suite is downloaded. Once the appropriate design tools have been
downloaded, the software can be installed by simply double clicking on the self-extracting
zip file.
In general, the design flow for FPGAs and CPLDs is very similar. Design Entry can be done
in Schematic or HDL, such as VHDL, Verilog or, for CPLDs only, ABEL. The design can
also comprise of a mixture of schematic diagrams and embedded HDL symbols. There is
also a facility to create state machines in a diagrammatic form and let the software tools
generate optimized code from a state diagram. All these steps will be seen in Chapter 4, ISE
WebPACK Design Entry.
WebPACK ISE software incorporates the ISE Simulator Lite – Xilinx’ new simulation tool.
This tool will be used in the tutorial section of this book. The full version of the ISE
Simulator is available in the full feature set ISE Foundation software. There is also the
option to download the ModelSim Xilinx Edition (MXE) software. This is a version of
Mentor Graphics’ ModelSim simulator with the Xilinx libraries precompiled. For more
