Hello,

in quest for the HDL source files for the Spartan 6 SP601 Demo board and
application, all I find is
http://forums.xilinx.com/xlnx/board/...thread.id=3844

> BTW, the design files are 'Coming Soon'....

Some zip files are available at

http://www.xilinx.com/products/board...ce_designs.htm

but they contain very few .v files.

This seems not enough to rebuild (and later adapt) the Ethernet/DSP
application delivered with the board. Even not to bebuild the build-in self
test...

Any news about those HDL files?

Thanks

rdf0015.zip
includes all files needed for the rebuild, but you need EDK of course

hm i guess you did mean rdf0003.zip
Xilinx is bullshitting again, i would say, there is documentation how
to use the BSRD
BIT file, but no source code.

to Xilinx: NO ONE who is buying SP601 or any other Xilinx board is
interested to
check out if Xilinx supplied BIT files work or not.
Xilinx has todo in house testing, clients can expect it has done, so
there is no
need the customers verify that using the BIT files.

the customers NEED the reference desing SOURCE files, if those are
not available, may as well take the SP601 and try its flying
capabilities.

probably its just a small delay, but hey the boards are out, so should
be refernece designs as well?

These files should have been posted online shortly after the release
of 11.3. I will look into this and get these up there.

Any news about your effort?

Some weeks ago I asked about the availability of the Source Files for the
Image processing example on the Xilinx Spartan6 SP601 demoboard.
What happened?

The file rdf0003.zip on
http://www.xilinx.com/products/board...ce_designs.htm
was silently exchanged and grew from 1.4 MByte to over 17.5 MByte
and now contains the full fledge project!

So anybody also in quest for the sources should download rdf0003.zip again.

Some note on the webpage about the update would have made things much
clearer!
