C++ deployer to install ISE 14.7 natively on Windows 11 (no VirtualBox)
Hey sooo im kinda tired of having to either install Linux or Windows 7 on all of my machines to run Xilinx ISE 14.7, or use the VM where there are always problems...
I created a command-line based tool that makes it possible to run ISE 14.7, PlanAhead, and iMPACT directly on Windows 11. And yes, cable drivers seem to work fine as well.
This is bare metal, no VMs are being used. I made it open source, and it really works great for me (im amazed as well lol).
I don't have my Spartan-3 board with me right now to physically plug it in, but since iMPACT doesn't crash or hang and cleanly prints the "cable not found" error, the drivers seem to be staged and working perfectly.
I would really love to get some real-world feedback from the community.
