TITLE: Free WebPack Software from Xilinx
Version 8.2i of the Xilinx WebPack software is now available for
free. All of the features that are available in the Xilinx
Foundation version of its Integrated Software Environment (ISE)
are also in the WebPack and provide full support for optional
embedded, digital signal processing (DSP) and real-time debug
design flows. ISE WebPACK 8.2i also includes ISE Simulator Lite
on Linux providing Xilinx users with a free HDL simulator. By
providing support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, Xilinx
has combined the low-cost benefits of the ISE design environment
with the fastest-growing EDA design platform. Linux is recognized
as a stable, low-cost, high-performance alternative to other
higher cost development environments and allows designers to
maximize corporate resources. Xilinx now augments the industry's
lowest-cost and lowest-power FPGA and CPLD solutions with the
most extensive front-to-back Linux support of any major PLD
vendor.
