Jump-start your next class project with help from the Xilinx University Program (XUP)! With XUP, students can access online support and free Vivado and ISE WebPACK™ software to begin designing with Xilinx FPGAs. Start today and learn more about our latest technology innovations, and enhance your knowledge of our products and services in or away from the classroom.
Use Vivado WebPack edition to develop designs targeting 7-Series and Zynq FPGA. Use ISE WebPack edition to develop designs targeting Spartan-6, Virtex-6, Virtex-5, Virtex-4, Spartan-3E, and Virtex-2P FPGA.
XUP has developed number of workshops using Vivado and ISE Design suite. The lab source files, required to carry out the labs portion of the workshop material, are available to the students. They can be freely downloaded.
