There is no installation program. Just download the files into an empty folder and unzip them. Synplify has been used for the logical synthesis, and Active-VHDL for the simulation. The style used for the VHDL programming allows the modules to be used in FPGAs from different manufactures, but unfortunately, in order to achieve good synthesis results, it is recommended the use of Synplify. Minor modifications in the vHDL code may be necessary, in case of using another tool for the logical synthesis.

The following is the project file used by Synplify to synthesise the TxDataFrame module (see TxDataFrame.zip). The file data_frame_gen_ea.vhd contains the main entity/architecture pair.
