How to install Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 (with drivers)

How to install the Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 and its cable drivers on Ubuntu 18.04.

For ISE installation: 1. Download the Linux installer tar file shown in the video. 2. Extract it using: sudo tar -xvf Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar 3. Open terminal in the extract folder and run: sudo ./xsetup 4. Don't Change install location if possible and don't tick install cable driver option. We will do it by ourself. You will need 22GB free space in root. 5. Source the settings64.sh file by adding the following line in ~/.bashrc: source /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/settings64.sh and restart terminal. Use sudo nano ~/.bashrc and ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit nano. 6. Now open ISE and install the license. For driver installation: 1. Run the following commands: sudo /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/./install_drivers (This will give error code 1. Don't worry about it.) cd /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/digilent/ sudo ./install_digilent.sh sudo apt-get install gitk git-gui libusb-dev build-essential libc6-dev-i386 fxload libftdi-dev cd /opt/Xilinx/14.7 sudo git clone git://git.zerfleddert.de/usb-driver cd usb-driver sudo make (Use make for both 32-bit and 64-bit) ./setup_pcusb /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/ For making IMPACT work (To solve WARNING:iMPACT - Module windrvr6 is not loaded.): 1. Run the following command: export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/Xilinx/14.7/usb-driver/libusb-driver.so or add this command in ~/.bashrc. This is known to cause issues with Xilinx SDK, so open xsdk from different terminal window in which LD_PRELOAD isn't exported (you will need to comment this line, if added in ~/.bashrc for Xilinx SDK). You can also make a script which does this for you. ;) For making ChipScope Pro Analyszer and Core Inserter work: 1. cd /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/unwrapped 2. sudo nano analyzer 3. In the first line change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash 4. Ctrl+o and then ctrl+k to save and exit. 5. Do the same for inserter file in the present same location. (sudo nano inserter) 5. LD_PRELOAD mentioned for impact is also needed by ChipScope Pro Analyzer. After this chipscope should work but just typing analyzer in terminal. For making System Generator work(Matlab needs to be installed): 1. cd /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/sysgen/util 2. sudo nano sysgen 3. In the first line again change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash then save and exit. Credits: github.com/casper-astro/mlib_devel/wiki/How-to-install-Xilin…
