Installing and Licensing the Core
This chapter provides instructions for installing and obtaining a license for the PCI
interface core, which you must do before using it in your designs. The PCI core is provided
under the terms of the
Xilinx LogiCORE Site License Agreement or the Xilinx LogiCORE
Project License Agreement , which conform to the terms of the SignOnce IP License/Project
standard defined by the Common License Consortium. Purchase of the PCI core entitles
you to technical support and access to updates for a period of one year.
Important note : Please visit the PCI/PCI-X lounge frequently to make sure that you are
using the latest version of the core. You can always download the most up-to-date version
of the core from the product lounge.
