Installation and Licensing

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm still having a problem with Chipscope 12.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit though. Is there a chance it's having a 32-bit vs. 64-bit executable issue as well? When I double click Analyze Design Using Chipscope from ISE I get the following message:

Running analyzer...

Command Line: -cwd "/fpga/VHDLRef/mig_v3_4/example_design/par" analyzer -intstyle ise -project "/fpga/VHDLRef/mig_v3_4/example_design/par/example_top.cpj" -bit_default "/fpga/VHDLRef/mig_v3_4/example_design/par/example_top.bit"

Process "Analyze Design Using Chipscope" launched successfully

Of course, nothing actually opens. On Red Hat RHEL 5 64-bit this works.

Also, is there any way to prevent the Terminal window from appearing/lingering after ISE's done launching, or have it not show all-together? Thanks.

Hi all

I made all procedure mentioned by acleone, but it dosenot work.

Here is my script as mentioned in this post:

 cd Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_12.1_M.53d.0.4/
sudo ./xsetup
 sudo: ./xsetup: command not found

Then I tried:

sudo bash xsetup
 xsetup: line 25: ./bin/lin/xsetup: Permission denied

And also tried:
 sudo dash xsetup
 xsetup: 32: ./bin/lin/xsetup: Permission denied
 
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on 32-bit machine.

can anyone help me?

Are you doing this from a section of your drive where you have write permission? The Xilinx setup software needs to be able to write to wherever it's being launch from. This makes for a hard time installing from the CD directly :) If that's what you were trying to do, copy the contents of the CD/DVD to your hard drive first.

Thank you  jonathan.ross.

I've found the error finally.

I had to extract the tar file "Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_12.1_M.53d.0.4.tar" in the linux platform in order to keep all files properties and permissions, then setup the ISE.

Instead, I extracted it using winrar in Windows platform and then tried to setup the ISE (but the Wimdows did not keep the files' special permissions and properties used by linux systems),so I was not able to setup the ISE.

Hi,

I recently installed ISE Web eddition at my Ubuntu 10.04 on amd64 platform, register my web licence, followed by instructions on this topic to generate run_ise and start the ISE. It is starteb, but it produce:

./run_ise: line 10:  5675 Segmentation fault      "$ISE_DS_DIR"/ISE/bin/lin64/ise

any time when I try to create new project. I am trying to allocate new dir in my home like: ~/FPGA/first, set everything to Spartan 3a DSP, and when I press the button "Finish" it waits... waits a lot, and when I press this button again or any other buttons, it crashes.

Please, advice me what to do!

Sincerely,

Ilghiz

At the concole it writes:

(x) ERROR: unknown project version :.

(x) ERROR: project cannot be migrated.

Thanks a lot for this tip. The instructions work in Linux Mint 9 Isadora as well, except for a small change to step 3. To create a shortcut, drag run_ise.sh to the Linux Mint icon in the main toolbar.

Just found out that

export LC_NUMERIC=C

also works for the decimal comma bug, and doesn't cause child processes (evince, firefox...) use English when the locale is set to another language.

I'm working on a post-installation script to automate everything (creation of wrapper script, bash completion, cable drivers, installation of dependencies, symbolic links...). Attached to this message.

I haven't tested it, but it may work on Ubuntu and maybe Debian. It's more like a list of steps I've followed myself. I recommend to check it before running it, just in case.

By the way, is editing PlanAhead/bin/rdiArgs.sh the only way around for the 64-bit problem? That script is supposed to work for 64-bit architectures if you call it with the -m64 command line option. No clue where's that script called from, though.

EDIT: Attachment updated; there was a bad mistake on line 45.

I've just noticed that XPS 12.1 BSB wizard (and maybe some other products of the Xilinx suite) doesn't work if your system uses a locale that uses commas instead of periods as decimal separator ("3,14" instead of "3.14").

As of Xilinx 14.1, this bug seems to persist.
