Installation and Licensing

Hello,

My report is about this bug:

Unfortunately, solutions aren't universal and don't apply to UNIX. I don't
use FAT32 in any way. This report was motivated by the fact that I want to
write a tutorial on getting Xilinx ISE running on FreeBSD 9 CURRENT.  
I see that some users experienced the same problem and I decided to give
some more insight on this issue. Xilinx team is welcome to comment/help.


My configuration is based on UFS2 filesystem:

# newfs -N /dev/ad2s1a

/dev/ad2s1a: 30720.0MB (62914560 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048

using 168 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 inodes.

super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

160, 376512, 752864, 1129216, 1505568, 1881920, 2258272, 2634624,

[..]

<cut>

And user-space libraries come from Fedora 10 emulation ports available in FreeBSD
ports collection.

Good news: picking up only "DSP tools" alone works. And this is the end of 
good news. Bad news is what the rest of this mail is all about.

My steps are based on this file:

# md5 Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar

MD5 (Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar) = cdbad7bb6e2fc0ca24fe5a1e01d847d6

# sha1 Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar

SHA1 (Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar) = ecad3b324e8761a4e9373f2e8052493b01fff9b4

I untar it with:

tar -xf Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar

From the main directory, I run:

./bin/lin/xsetup

I pick default settings. Once started, ISE installation proceeds till 39%.
Just after that, I get the same problem which GNU/Linux and Microsoft
Windows people reported:

You may not have write permissions for the /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE directory or its subdirectory

 "Error in zipfile" Please correct this and then select Retry

I set read/write/execute (UNIXish 0777 evil setting) for all files within
/opt and /X (installer's directory), but it didn't help either.

Anyway, when reaching 39%, installer reports that it is unpacking this file:

drop0292_iSE_L33_10.zip.xz (50363 KB)

On my file system, it is present as:

# ls -la drop0292_iSE_L33_10.zip.xz

-rwxrwxrwx 1 20230 902 46284009 Apr 11 2009 drop0292_iSE_L33_10.zip.xz

On the terminal from which I've started `xsetup` I see:

  /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/virtex4/data/virtex4.dst bad CRC ef398c14  (should be fdfe6f00)

  (may instead be incorrect password)

We're talking about this file:

# ls -la /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/virtex4/data/virtex4.dst

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5616469 Mar 27 2009 /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/virtex4/data/virtex4.dst

On my laptop with ISE 11.1 however, it's much bigger [1]:

wkoszek@laptop:/compat/linux$ ls -la opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/virtex4/data/virtex4.dst

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16536971 27 mar 2009 opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/virtex4/data/virtex4.dst

I don't know what can cause your installer to unpack files badly, but this
ZIP file seems to contain correct virtex4.dst file:

And its size matches exactly with my laptop's file size. As I said, DSP
tools installation succeeded, but PlanAhead installation fails as well.
Symptoms are similar -- installation proceeds till 11%, hangs on:

When bug happens, following message appears on the terminal:

error: invalid compressed data to inflate /opt/Xilinx/11.1/PlanAhead/tps/lnx24/j2re1.6.0_11/lib/rt.jar

File itself is here:

Some details about it:

%cd m

%mkdir TEST

%cd TEST

%unzip /opt/Xilinx/11.1/PlanAhead/tps/lnx24/j2re1.6.0_11/lib/rt.jar > rt_jar_unzipped.txt

unzip: Truncated ZIP file header

Output file from "unpack procedure" is here:

http://freebsd.czest.pl/~wkoszek/fpga/rt_jar_unzipped.txt.gz

Will this be enough to say something more about root of the problem? And
I really mean *root*, since I can't easily apply known Microsoft Windows
solutions here...

Hints on how can I unpack those *iSE*.zip.xz files are welcome. I tried to
do cat *iSE*.zip.xz > ISE.zip, but it doesn't seem to give me sensible ZIP
file.

[1] Please don't ask me, how is it possible that using the very same TAR
  file let me to install ISE on my laptop without a problem in the past...

[2] Editing this post redefined PITA, since forums still don't seem to work 
under Opera (10.10 for FreeBSD this time). You don't want to know how
inserting line break looks like.

Thanks,

Hi,

My previous report was referring to the old ISE 11.1 package version. I have updated

a package, and right now I'm able to complete WebPack 11.1 installation  on FreeBSD

without a problem. Problems with inappropriate packages and files went away. Expect

separate thread with a tutorial here really soon.

For completeness, I present validated checksums:

# md5 /home/wkoszek/Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar
MD5 (/home/wkoszek/Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar) = 42ce70bd3f78e68295175db2441c8b3a
# sha1 /home/wkoszek/Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar
SHA1 (/home/wkoszek/Xilinx_11.1_WebPack_SFD.tar) = 2b57b4fb00914e50d1b0a4d0a49e511ca56e85fb

Hello Wojciech!

I was fighting to run ISE12 on my FreeBSD box. There are much more dependencies in 12 than in 11, luckily the all necessary dynamic libraries are provided with installation, so we only need to fedd them into ldconfig :-)

Best regards,

Unfortunately new Xilinx ISE (13.1) does not provide all dynamic libraries required to work, unfortunately :-(

However there is a solution to run ISE on FreeBSD, please take a look at:

or directly
