xilinx 4000

I need to develope with Xilinx 4000 fpga series (I have some pieces), but i don't have any developement system. Can someone help me?
The downloadable SW from xilinx doesn't porgram such devices!

Thx
Lollo

you need or the old foundatione series F3.1-3.3 or the full ise 4.x.
The XC4000 are the old top fpga of xilinx.

fpga 4000 series from xilinx

Hi

I had recently the same problem with old Spartan.

There is a partial solution on Xilinx web. Browse deeply
on their site about "Classic" and you'l find a special free
ISE 4 for 4000 and Spartan.

The soft is named "spartan4k.exe", here is the link :

h**p://www.xilinx.com/webpack/classics/spartan_4k/index.htm

You must add third party sofwares for simulation and synthesis.

Good luck !
