Sigasi HDT with the new Xilinx ISE 12 (updated)

Update: Sigasi HDT has been updated to support Xilinx ISE 12 without modifications: release notes

Xilinx just released a new version of Xilinx ISE Suite.

Because the internal directory structure of this new version 12 has changed with respect to version 11, the integration with Sigasi HDT does not work as expected. Version 12 has an extra top-level directory ISE_DS which confuses Sigasi HDT.

It is however possible to configure Sigasi HDT to use ISim version 12.1 with this workaround:

In Preferences > Xilinx, specify:

Windows:

c:\Xilinx\12.1\ISE_DS

Linux:

/opt/Xilinx/12.1/ISE_DS/

In the next release of Sigasi HDT, we will make sure the configuration of the Xilinx path is the same for all versions.
