The Xilinx Tools suite is used extensively for WARP development. [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/embedded_design_prod/platform_studio.htm EDK] and [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logic_design_prod/foundation.htm ISE] are required for working with complete projects. [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/optional_prod/cspro.htm Chipscope] is used for debugging and all our physical layers are designed in [http://www.xilinx.com/ise/optional_prod/system_generator.htm System Generator] for [http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/ MATLAB].

== Installation ==

=== ISE, EDK, Chipscope ===

 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.
 1. Install any available service packs for each program
 1. Install any IP updates for each program

=== MATLAB ===

 1. Install into directory without spaces (e.g. ''c:\Matlab\'')

=== System Generator ===

 1. Only install System Generator after installing MATLAB. During the installation process, it should see your existing installation of MATLAB and integrate with it.

=== Platform Support Packages ===

The final piece is to download our custom cores repository. The instructions are available [wiki:edk_user_repository here].

At this point you should have all the different pieces required to develop on WARP.
