I am attempting to use this XILINX software with this board and chip.
In order to test it, I create a simple design that incorporates an
AND2 gate, two input buffers, and one output buffer all of which (the
input and output buffers) are connected to IPADs. The IPADs are
assigned pin numbers on the Schematic with the parameters LOC=Pxx,
where xx is 27, 28, and 69. These correspond to SW1, SW2, and LD1.
The design implements correctly, and the bit file is generated
successfully. When I transfer the design to the board, NOTHING
HAPPENS!
This is a very frustrating problem, and I cannot determine the
solution. If I can't get this simple design to work, then the boards
are practically worthless.
I installed the two recommended updates for the F1.5 software,
ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/15_service_pack1_nt.zip
and ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/15_sp1_ftp2_nt.zip.
I don't know what else I am supposed to upgrade the software with to
perhaps fix this problem. I have already tried other miscellaneous
patches posted on the site, but none allows this simple design to
work.
Has anyone else encountered this problem with XILINX Foundation F1.5,
and the Digilab XLA with the XCS10PC84 chip?
Thank you.
