This lab is an introduction to '''Xilinx ISE''' and to the '''CoolRunner-II kit'''.  Unfortunately the CoolRunner-II and its programming utility from Digilent works only with Windows XP, so we won't be able to download the design into the CPLD chip, but we can still energize and test the design with the ISE '''Simulator'''.

This lab is an introduction to Xilinx ISE and to the CoolRunner-II kit. Unfortunately the CoolRunner-II and its programming utility from Digilent works only with Windows XP, so we won't be able to download the design into the CPLD chip, but we can still energize and test the design with the ISE Simulator.
