From: MM on 20 Nov 2009 16:09 ISE/EDK11 has been crashing on me lately relentlessly complaining about the lack of memory and just for no reason. I am considering moving to a 64-bit OS just to eliminate the memory issue although I believe the root of the problem is in the tools. Anyways, I was just wondering if the latest EDK is indeed fully supported under 64-bit Linux as shown here http://www.xilinx.com/ise/ossupport/index.htm? Thanks, /Mikhail
From: MM on 20 Nov 2009 16:21 On the same note, I would appreciate an advice on what kind of CPU makes the most sense for today's and future Xilinx tools running under 64-bit Linux. Should I get a quad core or dual core? And if someone wants to give me a very specific advice it has to be Dell :) Thanks, /Mikhail
From: austin on 20 Nov 2009 16:30 M, I use EDK on a 64b RHEL system...and it doesn't crash (for me). Austin

I use 11.3 on Fedora 10 64 bit and it's OK for me. Oh, except I can't get the SDK to load, something to do with missing libraries for which I've followed all the advice I can find but can't get to work. Don't use it though, so don't care. Nobby

Works great and the price difference with the T3500 series (X58/Xeon-35XX) allowed my to order a secondary display. One of my co-workers noticed a two-fold decrease in compiling time --on a large V5 SX50T design-- with a Precision T3500 (Xeon W3520 @2.66 GHz) over a Precision T3400 (Core-2 Duo E6300 @1.86 Ghz). With a dual-core Xeon 3500 series you will lose 4 MB of L3 cache memory, therefore I would suggest you to go with a quad-core Xeon 3520 series (Precision T3500) or with a Core-i7 (Precision T1500). Hope this helps. -- Matthieu Michon <prenom.nom(a)gmail.com> |
