I don't know where to collect all of the tools. I don't have time to
collect all the tools. I may find further pointers from the ones in the
CD. Hence it helps my learning process.

Learning.

It will if it was easily obtinable. Currently it is not. I bought
Kanda's FPGA kit before. But the software is isntalled on trial basis. I
don't have the time to attend the software every day. Open tools don't
have that restriction. I can learn at my own pace rather than some
software vendor's pace.
