Xilinx ISE

Installing Xilinx ISE

When installing Xilinx ISE, make sure that the installer is located on the hard drive. The installer needs to have write permissions to the setup files. Burning the files to DVD has been reported to create problems.

Download Xilinx ISE from their website. This instruction has been tested with Ubuntu 14.04 64-bits and the ISE 14.5 64-Bits.

Extract the archives to a place with read and write permissions, and chmod the installer file executable my all. To do this, change into the folder with the installer files are located and issue the command

sudo chmod a+x xsetup 

Then you are ready to install the ISE suite. I suggest you do this as root. To start the installer, enter the following command:

sudo ./xsetup

Here are the instructions how to install the JTAG driver and software on a Linux PC.

There are no special issues on a Windows PC.

If the PC will be used only for programming and not for compilation, select Lab Tools in the installation process!
