Can BaSys 3 be programmed using ISE Weblink ?

[Jay Sngh]

Does Bays3 can be only programmed using Xilinx ISE or shall it require Vivado to program it.

I assume you mean ISE webpack? If so, you recommend to program Basys 3 with Vivado webpack. I think you might be able to program Basys 3 with ISE webpack with Adept but haven't tried that. Perhaps other memebers can tell you.

Hi @Jay Sngh,

The Basys 3 will not work in ISE. The Basys 3 has a XC7A35T fpga which is not supported in ISE. Here is a xilinx support answer discussing this.

thank you,

Is there any license which is provided alongwith Basys 3 board. Can the Basys3 board programmed using Vivado webpack ?

Hi @Jay Sngh,

There is no license provided with the Basys 3 board. We would suggest using Vivado's design edition which can be downloaded and used on a non-design edition target such as the Basys 3 without a license. If you are concerned with Vivado's size and are not going to use a virtex or kintex fpga you can also uncheck these boxes in the initial download options.

cheers,

Jon
