Arty A7-35T Xilinx WebPack (free version) compatibility

[Mayur]

I am about to purchase Arty A7: Artix-7 FPGA Development Board with Arty A7-35T. Although the documentation says it should work with Xilinx ISE webpack (the free version), in ise when I click on "Project -> Design Properties -> Family" , select  "Artix-7" it shows me only 2 options XC7A100T and XC7A200T. It does not show 35T.

Please confirm whether 35T variant would indeed work on ise webpack (free version) and what option to choose as "Family" in that case.

Hello @Mayur,

ISE is no longer supported by Xilinx. When the latest version of ISE, 14.7 was released they already had the XC7A100T and XC7A200T. The newer versions of Artix 7 FPGA, like the 35T for example, were released after ISE 14.7, and therefore are not supported. 

35T variant will work only with Vivado. You can use the Webpack licence (free version) of Vivado with the Arty.

Best regards,

Bianca
