Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issues with USRP2 firmware

> 2. The Xilinx tools in version 11.1 are without patches not able to generate the bitstream, even make proj failed. The build also fails because it needs more RAM than available with a self-made project. With the latest service pack (sp 5) the software is able to produce a .bin file, but not even the LEDs flash with this version. There are a lot of  warnings, so I cannot tell what the problem is, but it seems that successful compilation is not enough to make it work. I made an .ise file with make proj and imported it into ISE, so maybe some vital information got lost in the process, but since the logic is given i cant understand how something could go wrong here. 10.1 sp3 works correctly as expected.

To my knowledge, Xilinx 11.x is "not supported", I think that version 
10.x is the version to use. I haven't done anything with the FPGA 
myself, but there has been a few messages on the list regarding the 
version to use.
