Well, a number of people have gotten 6.3i with the service pack to synthesize for the 4000.
(3) The XC3S4000 actually has _less_ LE than the EC2-50 as far as I can tell? I assume the fact it has more BRAM (and has more flexible RAM configuration options) makes up for that?
What do you mean by "LE"? I'm pretty sure the 4000 has more logic area. But the killer thing is the 96 fully dual-ported block rams, compared to the -50's 21. I don't know how the number of multipliers compare. Also, I may have misunderstood this, but... you know how you can use a LUT as a 16x1 RAM? Well, for neither chip can you use ALL luts for RAM, but the I think the 4000 allows a greater proportion of its LUTs to be used this way. Also, the 4000 has more flexible I/O's. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
