Hi,
I want to introduce myself as new member of the list, and take
advantage of the opportunity to ask a question about Digilent's Nexys
Spartan 3 board. I purchase the 1000k gate version. I would like to
use the off-chip memory and tough that a good place to start was the
build-in self test sources that the company provide in their web site.
However, I get error when I try to re-synthesize the source. The
errors are related to unrouted signals. I contacted the company but
haven't receive an answer. I am using version 8.1.0.3 of Xilinx's
ISE.
Is anyone using this board? Have you been able to use the bist source?
Thanks,
Manuel
Digilent's Nexys

I also have a 3s1000 version of this board. Very compact indeed.
I have version 8.2.03i of the Xilinx Webpack software this end.
Several of the files in the Nexys_Bist archive had their "read_only"
status bit set which Webpack complained about at this end.
I changed the target type to xC3s1000-5ft256 and did nothing else to
any of the source files.
There were a fair few warnings (390 total), but it went all the way
through to generating a programming file.
Could you be more specific about the "errors" you received?
Cheers,
Leslie

I also have one of the S3-1000 nexys boards this end.
I had no problems compiling the Bist_Nexys demo this end, though I am
using 8.2.03i . There were a fair number of warnings however (390).
Only change I made to the source was to change the FPGA type to the
S3-1000 variety.
Could you be more specific about the errors you received?

Sorry to veer off topic, but i was going to order one of those myself and only
saw a 500k gate option?

They come in 200, 400, or 1000 die versions from digilent.
http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?Prod=NEXYS
After you hit the "Add to cart" button, you are presented with a choice
of which board you wish to purchase.
I have NO association with them by the way.

Hello to all.
I can only see 200k and 400k versions of the board...
I wish that the 1000k board still was available.

They're likely just out of stock of the larger part.
Try again later.

It's back! I am looking at the order page and the 1000die version is
available again.
