Installing the Software

The Xilinx® Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Video Starter Kit includes a Xilinx Software 
Development Suite DVD in the box, or you can download the software from the Xilinx 
software registration site. In both cases, you must register the software as part of the 
installation process. You cannot install the software until it has been registered. 

Step 1: Accessing the Xilinx Electronic Fulfillment Site

This development kit comes with 

entitlement

 to an 

Evaluation

 seat of the ISE® 

Foundation™ Design Software (ISE), a 

Full

 seat of the System Generator™ Design Suite, 

and a 

Full

 seat of the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) Design Suite product. 

You should have received an E-mail for the Xilinx electronic fulfillment site and already 
may have had an opportunity to install the Xilinx software. If you have not done so, you 
may register and install your Xilinx software now. 

Note: 

To determine the software you are entitled to (i.e., Full, Evaluation, or Free license), please 

visit the Xilinx software registration and entitlement site:

 

www.xilinx.com/register

To begin using the development kit software resources, the ISE Foundation, System 
Generator Design Suite, and the EDK Design Suite, you must first obtain installation keys. 
To do this, you may register or download these products immediately on the Xilinx 
Registration and Download Site at:

 www.xilinx.com/register

Step 2: Installing and Updating ISE, System Generator, and EDK Design 
Software

If you still need to install the ISE Foundation software, this video starter kit comes with 

entitlement

 to an Evaluation seat of the ISE Foundation Design Software. 

If you still need to install the EDK Design Suite software, this video starter kit comes with 

entitlement

 to a Full seat of the Embedded Development Kit Design Suite products. After 

logging into the

 www.xilinx.com/register

 site, select the check box for the Embedded 

Development Kit (EDK).

If you still need to install the System Generator software, this video starter kit comes with 

entitlement

 to a Full seat of the System Generator Design Suite products. After logging into 

the

 www.xilinx.com/register

 site, select the check box for the System Generator software.

Step 3: Register and Install Software

The System Generator Design Suite allows the user to create DSP-specific designs, while 
the Embedded Development Design Suite allows development of an embedded design, 
and the ISE Foundation allows the user to place and route a design. An installed version of 
System Generator, EDK, and ISE is needed before getting started. Any additional software 
may be selected for evaluation for a period of 60 days.

After making the desired product selections, click Next. An installation code is presented. 
Use this code to install the software from the Xilinx Software DVD in the Kit or use it with 
the software that was downloaded from the Xilinx software registration and download site 

www.xilinx.com/register

Insert the Xilinx Software Development Suite DVD that came with the kit or select and 
install the Install image that was downloaded from the Xilinx registration and download 
site. Follow the instruction included in the installation software.
