    53All design on WARP occurs in the Xilinx tool suite ([http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logic_design_prod/foundation.htm ISE], [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/embedded_design_prod/platform_studio.htm EDK] , [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/optional_prod/cspro.htm Chipscope], and [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/optional_prod/system_generator.htm System Generator]). System Generator also requires an installation of [http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/ Matlab].

    18      1) Install the programs into directories without spaces (e.g. ''c:\Xilinx\ISE''). Note: Installing to a directory whose name does not contain the version number will make it easier to switch between versions in the future.
    19 
    20      2) Install any available service packs for each program
    21 
    22      3) Install any IP updates for each program
    23 
     14 1. Install the programs into directories without spaces (e.g. ''c:\Xilinx''). By default, the Xilinx installers will install everything to C:\Xilinx\.
     15 1. Install any available service packs & IP updates for each program. This is critical- the latest service packs for ISE, EDK and Sysgen fix some bugs that break support for the OFDM reference design in earlier releases.

    27      1) Install into directory without spaces (e.g. ''c:\Matlab\'')
    28    
     18 1. Install into directory without spaces (e.g. ''c:\Matlab\'')
     19 1. None of our reference designs require any special MATLAB toolboxes. However, we regularly use the Communications and Signal Processing toolboxes/blocksets in our research and many of our posted examples.

    3021=== System Generator ===
    31 
    32       1) Only install System Generator after installing Matlab. During the installation process, it should see your existing installation of Matlab and integrate with it.

     22 1. Only install System Generator after installing Matlab.
     23 1. The installer should find your existing installation of Matlab and integrate with it.
