VCC's HOTman

S

Guest
Hi ,
I downloaded HOTman from Virtual Computing corporation around April'03
but when I tried to open the console now it didnt work.Also I went
through the procedure again for running HOTman the first time and
still couldnt get the GUI to appear.I got the error message "Could not
find main class" when I double clicked on the Hotman.jar file.

Is this a problem of JRE or is the software HOTman no longer working.
I also tried to download the evaluation edition again from the VCC
website and couldnt do it(got an internal server error problem).Have
they closed the site ?

Has anybody faced similar problems with HOTman?
Also to implement programs from C directly to FPGA would Celoxica's
HandelC oriented DK1-design Suite be the next best option,if I cant
get HOTman working.


Kindly do help me out on the above.

Thanks ,
Sriram
 
There is a date coded license file did you ever get that? So the HOTMan
software allows you to download remotely and it has a "plugin" technology
that allows you to get inbetween the delievery of the bitstream and the
final destination. It has examples of how to use the Xilinx download cable
and it also has Jtag functions. HOTMan also lets you make your own commands
so you can build test software for your system.

With just a few lines of code you can deliver your bitstream run some kind
of test and then the software will ship back a message that you create. And
it will work over the net so you can run it from your office and download
into the lab.

Let me know if you have problems.

Dear Mr.Casselman,
Thanks for replying to my message ,and no i did not get the license
file.
Also I dont want to do remote hardware upgrade,I just want to write to
the FPGA using C++ hardware objects.
As I wrote in earlier I'm not able to run the HOTman application even
after following the steps for first time use (like updating the batch
file etc ..)

Do help me out.
Thanks,
Sriram

This software allows you to encapsulate a bitstream and do remote upgrades.
It does not use C++ as a a hardware description language. I think what you
want is
