[What tools required for basys2 board from Xilinx ?]

2022-02-03

 

I forgot to add that on a basys3 I have been successful at following and implementing examples of working with an fpga.

It is more to achieve a desire to get the basys2 up and working than a requirement and I will continue with that challenge.

Thank you.

I have made some progress and will continue.  I have successfully installed the Oracle Virtual Box and Downloaded and successfully

installed the 14_7 ISE .  I needed first to get a windows 10 pro upgrade (and then windows 11 Pro) as the software requires to pro model of windows.  At that point I learned that a VM (virtual machine) was required and as stated above was successful.

 

Unfortunately at that point,  my machine had to go in for a warranty repair.  On another machine I have been trying to find the time

to  bring it up to a working point.  I thank you for your help and guidance and the links provided

I am stuck trying to get an environment that I can use for basys2 and verilog.  I have successfully done this for basys3. For basys2 I have vivado 2017.2 (stated in an appendix of a book) but cannot

configure it to use basys2 ) .  Could someone give me

some help to get started with basys2. ( I can use 

vivado  2019.1 successfully  for basys3 after copying board files

but am completely stopped with basys2.   My problem

is not with verilog but getting over a very elementary

problem of getting and configuring the proper files

needed for basys2. Are there any board files required

for basys2 (I think there must be but I cannot find them nor can I find instructions for where they go )

The tutorial for basys3 was sufficient to get me started but not the tutorial for basys2.

I originally asked this question in the "say hello" section but it belongs here.

I cannot find the board files for the basys-2 board and believe that I need to put them in the vivado version

install directory to allow me to choose the correct family (spartan 3 e , I believe) and part and package.

they were not in the old section of master.zip.  Once I can create the bit file I have the Adept software

to configure the basys-2 board.  I have already had success with the basys-3 board.

Please let me know where I can find the board files.

 

thank you

I am trying to create a bit file on the basys-2 board but do not get the opportunity to select the

correct family (Spartan-3E) etc. in Vivado-2017.2 and believe it is because I do not have a board file

(which I did get from the master.zip) for another board (basys-3) that I have.  Once I can get

the proper bit file synthesized I believe I can codnfigure the basys-2 board using the Adept software 

which I have downloaded. and so my question is Where can I get the board file to load to the vivado install directory for the basys-2 board?

 

thank you
