Installation

• Install BEE Design Flow V1.0
  • Unzip all to directory c:/bee_df
• Install Xilinx Foundation ISE 7.1i
  • Install from CD to c:/xilinx.
  • Install latest patch SP3
  • Install IP update #1, unzip all files to Xilinx installation directory (c:/xilinx)
• Install Mathworks Matlab R14
  • Add to path: c:/bee_df/mlib
• Install Xilinx System Generator V7.1
• Install Synplify Pro V7.7.1
  • Using network floating license option, node-locked license do NOT provide batch processing capability that is required.
• Install ModelSim 5.8c
  • Install ModelSim, using network floating license option.
  • Install Xilinx ModelSim VHDL library by unzip it to ModelSim installation directory
  • Add to ModleSim initialization file (modelsim.ini) the following lines:
    unisim = $MODEL_TECH/../xilinx/vhdl/unisim
    simprim = $MODEL_TECH/../xilinx/vhdl/simprim
    xilinxcorelib = $MODEL_TECH/../xilinx/vhdl/xilinxcorelib
    aim = $MODEL_TECH/../xilinx/vhdl/aim
    pls = $MODEL_TECH/../xilinx/vhdl/pls
• Install Xilinx ChipScope Pro 7.1i
• Setup BEE related configurations
  • Check the system variable LM_LICENSE_FILE contain the proper license servers for Matlab, Synplify Pro, and ModelSim.
  • Check the system variable path contain the program directory for Xilinx, ModelSim, and Synplify Pro. i.e.,
     C:\Xilinx\bin\nt;C:\Modeltech_5.8c\win32; C:\synplicity\Synplify_771\bin
  • Create system variable XIL_XFLOW_PATH with value c:/bee_df/lib/xflow
  • Create system variable BEE_DF_PATH with value c:/bee_df
