Hi All

i am new to FPGA's and have picked up a celoxica rc1000pp (virtex
2000e) cheap, the downside...no manuals or software.
i expected that (being an old bit of kit) the drivers and manuals
would be easy to get hold of....oh how i was wrong

does anyone on this mailing list have any details on the board... i
know there is an old windows driver, source-code for an old linux
driver available.

i'm not really interested in handel-c but i've been told it was
possible to use vhdl and load it on there (source provided
apparently)...if someone has that source :-)

also any and all documentation would be great (pdf's etc preferred)

i jumped in at the deep end but the more docs and code i can get the
better (i will probably update the linux pci driver for latest kernel
and go from there...though i'll need the old source first ;-)

if you can help then thanks very much in advance

Celoxica was recently bought by Catalytic Inc (now renamed to AgilityDS). I
would send them an email (support@..) to see if they can send you the
drivers and perhaps the source code for it.

Hi Hans

Thanks for the idea. i contacted them.. but its been 4 weeks since i
first contacted them and have had very little sucess...at the time
their legacy server was down so the guy in support couldn't do
anything.. and he hasn't replied to my emails since... i figured i'd
keep trying them and see if i have any luck on here too

Tim
