Play with Basys3 FPGA (step1): Installation programs (Vivado+Digital) with min. disk space (~5GB)
Goal:
When you have limited disk space (~5GB), this video shows how to install software programs to "draw the logic gates" to play with the Basys3 FPGA.
(Note: you only need "Vivado" if you are going to write RTL code)
This is step 1, which shows how to install the software programs.
Two software programs are required:
#1Vivado (to program FPGA board), #2 Digital (to draw schematic)
1. Installation of Vivado
Go to https://www.xilinx.com/support/download.html; select the Vivado Archive 2015.1
2. Download/Save the Hardware Files into Vivado
Download the *zip from the following link and unzip the file.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18g4h8CPUc...
Save the files to your local folder, as shown in the figure below.
