AMD Changes Vivado License - Locks out Linux Support from Basic tier

What was arguably an avenue into free development, being able to use Linux and then Vivado, is now locked down into buying a supported Windows license to use free Vivado. If you want Linux support you now have to pay for it. $1,200+. Existing installations will likely still work.

Are there alternatives? Maybe it works with Wine?

    Particularly if you are using PetaLinux or the new EDF. Maybe paying for EDF (too bad "classic" MicroBlaze users) is why they're pushing the paid CORE package? At least 2025.2 and before are still available free (for the smaller chips anyway)! I wouldn't mind paying for CORE so much if it was something I could do every 3 years which is about how I use the current upgrade cycle (i'm still on 2023.1). But for that "privilege" I'd have to spring for ENTERPRISE...
