The Forums portion of the Digilent site allows me to log in... that seems to work. However, I cannot post a note to the FPGA section.
At first I thought this was a "validation" problem... and so selected "send revalidation email".
My email address is "walkingthrough@yahoo.com" . I've kept an eye on the Inbox, watched the Spam folder, and while your Forums software says it has sent validation email, nothing shows up.
Fortunately, it still lets me log in.
================
I have an old Basys board and am taking a grad level course in Verilog/VHDL: University of Massachusetts at Lowell, ECE 16.562. Dr. Kelly is the professor.
The course does not have a lab or hardware component... but I'd like to use the Basys board to tinker. Xilinx currently offers version of their ISE WebPack and I have that loaded for the integrated access to the simulator. Apparently, though, 14.7 won't code for the Spartan 3 FPGA (old chip).
I've downloaded 10.1 (purportedly the last version of ISE that would program this device) and my next step is to either buy or build the programming cable. Probably buy... because doing it through a USB port isn't a casual endeavor.
Pointers would be appreciated. I've wanted to take this Verilog course for years and finally found the time. That there's no hardware involved... well, hopefully your pointers will fix that for me.

Hello -
Frustrating.
The Forums portion of the Digilent site allows me to log in... that seems to work. However, I cannot post a note to the FPGA section.

My email address is "walkingthrough@yahoo.com" . I've kept an eye on the Inbox, watched the Spam folder, and while your Forums software says it has sent validation email, nothing shows up.
