Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mango WARP hardware compatible with Rice WARP hardware?

Yes. Our products are based on the same board designs as the latest Rice WARP hardware. Rice and Mango kits will interoperate seamlessly.

What software tools are required to use WARP?

The primary processor in WARP is a Xilinx FPGA; a number of Xilinx tools are required to program this device:

• ISE Foundation is always required;
• Embedded Development Kit (EDK) is required to utilize the PowerPC core embedded in the FPGA;
• System Generator for DSP is required to customize the WARP Repository's open-source physical layer cores;
• ChipScope Pro is recommended for debugging FPGA designs in hardware.

Universities can request a donation of the tools from the Xilinx University Program. Commercial users should contact Xilinx Sales to purchase the tools.
