download and install xilinx ise

In this video, I'm going to show you how to download and install the Xilinx ISE Design Suite software.

ISE is one of the two main software packages from Xilinx used for digital design and implementation using FPGAs. The other software from Xilinx used for hardware implementation with FPGAs is Vivado.

Different versions of ISE software were released until 2013, but after that year, new releases were discontinued and Xilinx introduced Vivado for FPGA implementation instead.

The last version of ISE was 14.7, which was released in late 2013.

Describe a Digital Circuit for FPGA

When dealing with processors or microcontrollers, we can create a routine for them to follow using predefined programming instructions tailored to that specific processor.

So, in the world of processors, the programming language is like a tool that helps you convey your ideas to the processor.

But what happens when we shift our focus to FPGAs?

How do we go about describing the digital circuit we've envisioned or designed on paper for FPGAs?

In this video, we'll delve into the process of describing a digital circuit for an FPGA or more specifically for the implementation software.
