Notes
OS
The Xilinx tools also support:
- Red Hat Enterprise 5 Workstation
- Red Hat Enterprise 4 Workstation
- SUSE Linux Enterprise
However, many of the other tools listed here rely on Windows, so appropriate replacements must be found.
Xilinx Tools
A full installation of the Xilinx tools is necessary for building custom FPGA designs. An SDK-only installation (with less stringent licensing requirements) is also available and can be used if the user only wants to update software designs. For example, this reduced installation would be appropriate for customizing the MAC behavior of our OFDM Reference Design.
Matlab
Matlab is required for Xilinx System Generator and also for the WARPLab design flow.
TortoiseSVN
Any SVN client can be used, but we recommend TortoiseSVN if the user is using Windows operating system. Instructions for downloading the WARP SVN repository are available here.
PuTTY
PuTTY is used to communicate with the WARP board via UART. Instructions for setting up PuTTY to do this are here?.
