Xilinx FPGA

I am using Digilent NEXYS A7 FPGA learning board. It uses a Xilinx Artix®-7 FPGA. Xilinx is now under AMD.

AMD Vivado Design Suite

AMD Vivado Design Suite is a software tool used to design and develop hardware circuitry for programmable devices like Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and System-on- a-Chip (SoC) made by AMD.

require libraries

sudo apt install libtinfo-dev libtinfo.so.6 libncurses.so.6

the suite actually needs libtinfo5 and ncurses5. but we can cheat it by creating symbolic links

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5

Run

my installation is

>cd /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2024.1
>source settings64.sh 
>vivado
