Spartan-6 LX150T Development Kit

[hannas]

Hallo Avnet,

I have Spartan6 LX150T Development Board and I try to develop my own Design for it using ISE 13.2. I installed the last XBD-Version, but it doesn't work The LX150T cant't be selected. I can select right Evaluation Development Board ... but Device-Field schows wrong name. (see Attachment)

I have downloaded the XBD Files (EDK 13.2) https://www.em.avnet.com/Support%20And%20Downloads/avnet_edk13_2_xbd_files_2_08_2011.zip

Thanks for your answer!

Do you have full version of ISE? I just tried it and it works for me (see the attached screen capture).

Yes, I have Xilinx ISE Design Suite 13.2 and I did the same for Spartan LX9 MicroBoard, it works. But if I try to select Spartan-6 LX150T it doesn't work. May be I have wrong XBD Files? Could you post me your XBD-Archive, please? 

[npoureh]

What you have is the latest version of the XBD files (see attached).

It doesn't work Is it right so: I put "Avnet" and "Memec" folders from  avnet_edk13_2_xbd_files.zip archive in the Xilinx directory: C:\Xilinx\13.2\ISE_DS\EDK\board. In that directory there are 3 folders: Avnet, Memec and Xilinx.  Schould I do something else?

Your XBD installation is correct. Are you sure you have a version of the ISE that supports the S6LX150T device?

[hannas]

How could I determine this? I downloaded ISE 13.2 from the Xilinx homepage and then installed ISE Design Suit... I have 30 Day Evaluation. Could this be a Problem?

You DO NOT have support for the S6LX150T device with the evaluation version of the ISE. When you purchase the Avnet S6LX150T development board http://www.em.avnet.com/en-us/design/drc/Pages/Xilinx-Spartan-6-LX150T-Development-Kit.aspx you will get the full version of the ISE device-locked to the S6LX150T device. See the above link for more info.
