Can I just ask which version of windows and of the Xilinx ISE programs you guys are running.

I'm having difficulty to get anything to work under windows 10, have tried 13.1 and 14.7 amoungst others

I have an old laptop somewhere which it looks like I'll be digging out.

I use Win10. But you need to do a hack for the file dialogs. Search the Xilinx website for the guide.

EDIT: Also you MUST use the 64 bit version on 64bit windows and 32 bit on 32 bit... or it wont find the USB devices.

Ok will have look shortly, detected USB ok, just keeps closing the apps on one PC and not loading at all on the other.

Heyo! Going to be building a TF530 and a TF534 in the coming days, sourced almost all the components from digikey and mouser, although i'm coming a bit unstuck with the Jumper and IDE headers - I ordered one header for the IDE, but it was the wrong size, right amount of pins though! Could someone point me to the ones they've been ordering/using?

Many thanks :)

I buy 2.0mm and 2.54mm pin strip in bulk and cut it up.. This is the area where i go ebay for.. because it cant get screwed up
