Tools

Note: Currently ISE, EDK, Sysgen and Chipscope version 10 are compatible with WARP along with Matlab 2007a

The Xilinx Tools suite is used extensively for WARP development. ​EDK and ​ISE are required for working with complete projects. ​Chipscope is used for debugging and all our physical layers are designed in ​System Generator for ​MATLAB.
