Cutting back Xilinx ISE - timvideos/litex-buildenv GitHub Wiki

Xilinx ISE tools are like 14 gigabytes, this is kind of sucky as not everyone has the space / bandwidth to use that. This includes some random notes about trying to cut back the Xilinx tools while still compiling the firmware;

This has been done on the new firmware at https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware

• See https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/tree/master/.travis

Artiq has gotten some of this working on Travis with misoc/migen; see the following to bits;

• https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/blob/master/.travis.yml
• https://github.com/m-labs/migen/blob/master/tools/strace_tailor.sh
