Using Xilinx coregen 4.1 under Linux
Xilinx' IP-generation tool coregen is executed as a Java
program, thus it should work under Linux. After fiddling with the
startup script, I managed to run it with JDK1.3. Since it can run
locally (not remote over X) it is much more responsive, has (at least
for me) no redraw problems and also generates cores much faster than
on any Sun. As far I can see, the results are the same, judge for
yourself...
Download patched coregen-script for Linux
Attention: There's no warranty that it definitely works under all circumstances.
If it makes a mess out of your cores, don't blame me and/or Xilinx!
Installing ISE4.2 without crappy Java-GUI
This is a small script to install all .car-archives without the Java-GUI
(which never worked for me, neither under native Solaris nor Linux).
Download install-script
You have to patch the path to the JDK-1.3 version and your desired
installation path in the beginning of the script. The script asssumes that
your current path is the top-folder containing the car-directory.
Note: You may have to change the permissions after unpacking...
