This answer record highlights the important requirements and known issues for the Virtex-7 FPGA Initial Engineering Sample (ES) program related to software and IP. These items are specifically relevant to designs targeting the Virtex-7 485T Initial ES FPGA devices (XC7V485T CES9937). Additional silicon limitations might exist, so reference the Initial ES errata (EN172) that accompanies the devices.
This answer record is updated frequently as new information becomes available regarding known issues, patches, IP support, and more. Please check back often for the most current information.

Software Known Issues
IP Requirements
All 7 Series IP Cores are listed as Pre-production in the CORE Generator "Status" field. Support of Pre-production cores on Initial ES FPGA devices is dependent on Xilinx hardware validation, whichis ongoing throughout the ES period. IP that has been hardware validated is still subject to change as verification and characterization work continues. Consult the IP Known Issues Answer Records section below for the most recent information. The list includes all Pre-production IP cores that have been hardware validated on Initial ES at this time:
This listis updated as hardware validation is completed.If there are further questions about hardware validation for a particular IP Core, please contact a Field Application Engineer.
