另一个重要变化是，Xilinx将PlanAhead工具的精华子集作为PlanAhead Lite免费提供给所有ISE 10.1的用户。在此之前，PlanAhead是专业版ISE Foundation的付费附加组件。PlanAhead Lite包含了PinAhead I/O引脚规划环境、ExploreAhead设计分析和布局规划工具以及部分时序分析能力。PlanAhead Lite的加入大大降低了I/O引脚规划和设计分析的门槛，使得即使是WebPACK免费版的用户也能享受到更高层次的设计辅助功能。
Running a virtual machine (via VirtualBox or VMware) loaded with a clean installation of Windows XP 32-bit or an older Linux distribution. This ensures 100% driver compatibility with hardware programmers like the Xilinx Platform Cable USB.

This is the classic "Logic has been trimmed" warning/error. ISE 10.1 is aggressive in optimizing away "unused" logic by default. If you have a test pin that drives an LED but is tied to a constant, ngdbuild removes it. To debug, look for the .ngr file or disable "Trim Unconnected Logic" in the Translate properties.
: Use the "Keep Hierarchy" constraint during synthesis if you need to debug specific modules using ChipScope Pro. De-activating it allows the compiler to flatten the design for better area optimization. This is the classic "Logic has been trimmed" warning/error
For many engineers, researchers, and hobbyists, ISE 10.1 remains a critical piece of software. It is often the only tool capable of programming the vintage chips found in legacy industrial hardware, aerospace systems, and educational kits. Architectural Breakthroughs in ISE 10.1
