But by his noodliness, the GUI Xilinx IDE is a hog.
I'm running it on
an older Windows box in our Lab and it just crawls - but a) I _am_ in
the situation where I can only dump the configuration onto the chip
from a windows box (because I am cheap and only have the parallel
cable) and b) when I last tried to run the Linux version of the IDE on
my main computer (quite powerful and gobs of RAM) it was an unholy
crappy mess. This may have been version 11, so maybe it's gotten
better - but for now I'll avoid polluting my filesystem with it.
ISE v13 is really, really nice under Linux now. I remember when it
was an unholy crappy mess...fortunately they've wised up and fixed it.
