WEBPACK ISE DESIGN SOFTWARE
WEBPACK CHIPVIEWER
The ChipViewer tool can be used to examine the design after implementation. It shows the connections between pins of the device, as well as the configuration of the internal logical resources.
XPOWER
As power consumption becomes increasingly important in modern digital designs, the XPower tool is available to calculate the power consumption of a design running inside a device.
WebPACK CD-ROM Installation
First, insert the CD. If the installation does not start automatically, navigate to the CD drive using Microsoft Windows Explorer software.
Double-click on the setup.exe file to start the installation process. (The installation process may have already started automatically).
As the installation process starts up, you’ll see a window asking for a registration key. To get the registration key, enter the product ID on the CD sleeve at the website given in the window.
FIGURE 3-2: REGISTRATION KEY WINDOW
Once at the registration web page, follow the online registration process by selecting “new customer please register” from the first online screen.
Enter the data requested at each stage. You’ll need to create and enter a memorable user name and password.
When requested, enter the product ID in the appropriate field.
A CD registration key number will then be sent to you via e-mail.
