=Setting Up Xilinx Utilities={{Template:Version|Xubuntu 9.10 running on a VMware player virtual machine}} Note that some utilities such as 'impact' are capable of using the libusb driver, while others such as 'xmd' must use the libusb-driver driver. libusb-0.1.4 is installed generally by default in *ubuntu distributions and should be available (but the udev magic still has to happen for the cable to work). In this install, we specify use of the libusb-driver by adding some lines in /opt/Xilinx/11.1/settings32.sh ==Operating System==* Install Xubuntu virtual machine* Update OS* Reboot (to load latest kernel) ===Re-Install VMware tools===<pre> sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` psmisc</pre> (Install VMWare tools through host menu) Unzip tarball from /mnt/cdrom (or cdrom1) to local dir (such as ~/):<pre> cd ~/vmware-tools-distrib sudo ./vmware-install.pl</pre> Select all default options, allow the program to launch vmware-toolbox Add the following to /etc/rc.local (then <code>sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local</code>):<pre> /usr/bin/vmware-user &</pre> Add the following to /etc/fstab:<pre> .host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs user,defaults 0 0</pre> Reboot (Verify any shared folders are now mounted on /mnt/hgfs) (Verify vmware-user is running with: <code>ps ax | grep vmware</code>) ===Supporting Libraries===Install libusb:<pre> sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4</pre> Install fxload:<pre> sudo apt-get install fxload</pre> ==Xilinx Tool Installation==[[Install Xilinx ISE Webpack]] (do '''not''' install cable drivers or XilinxUpdate), then run the following commands:<pre> sudo sed /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.rules -e 's:TEMPNODE:tempnode:g' > /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules sudo cp /opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/bin/lin/xusb*.hex /usr/share/ sudo restart udev</pre>**Note, for the first command you may receive a permissions error. Try the command <code>sudo su</code> to get a root shell then run the same command sans 'sudo' * Plug in the Spartan 3E board. Apply power and attach the USB cable between the board and computer. If everything has been done successfully, a greed LED will illuminate next to the USB receptacle on the boad. If unsuccessful, the red LED will be dimly lit. * Install the Xilinx EDK (SDK and Chipscope if required) ===Installing libusb-driver===Install libusb-dev and git:<pre> sudo apt-get install libusb-dev git-core</pre> Download libusb-driver sources:<pre> cd ~/ git clone git://git.zerfleddert.de/usb-driver</pre> Compile and install libusb driver<pre> cd usb-driver/ make make lib32 sudo cp libusb-drive.so /usr/local/lib/</pre> Create a script in /etc/profile.d/ with the following contents:<pre> #!/bin/bash export PATH="$PATH/opt/Xilinx/EDK/bin/lin:/opt/Xilinx/11.1/EDK/gnu/microblaze/lin/bin/:/opt/Xilinx/11.1/SDK/bin/lin:/opt/Xilinx/11.1/ISE/bin/lin"</pre> Make the script executable:<pre> sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/xlilnx-settings.sh</pre> Add the following lines to /opt/Xilinx/11.1/settings32.sh just after <code>list=""</code><pre> export XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB=0 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libusb-driver.so</pre>16) Prior to launching a Xilinx tool (such as xmd), you must type the following command:<pre> source /opt/Xilinx/11.1/settings32.sh</pre> *Note if you wish to create a launcher in the desktop environment, use the following format for the 'command' and it will automatically source the settings32.sh before launching the application:<pre> /bin/bash -c 'source /opt/Xilinx/11.1/settings32.sh && ise'</pre>Sources and Other Contributors:Via (VTLUUG member)[http://forums.xilinx.com/xlnx/board/message?board.id=INSTALLBD&message.id=825 forums.xilinx.com][http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xilinx_ISE_WebPACK wiki.archlinux.org] =Makefile Tricks===Automatic Download==This automatically downloads your program to the Spartan board afterbuilding.
