Install - What Ubuntu files are required for Vivado to run successfully?

描述

Vivado began official support on the Ubuntu platform with Vivado 2014.3.

Are there any specific Ubuntu packages that need to be installed in order for Vivado to run successfully?

解决方案

Xilinx has not done any official testing on what packages need to be added to a basic Ubuntu install for minimum viable functionality with Vivado.

The following packages were reported by customers as needing to be installed on Ubuntu 64bit to get the Documentation Navigator running.

You can install the following packages using apt-get (not just for the Documentation Navigator)

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev:i386

The SDK requires gmake, but Ubuntu only contains make (it is the same binary, but a different filename).

gmake needs to be created as a link:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake

On a minimal Ubuntu install you will need to install pip to work with Python packages:

apt install python3-pip

Install these missing Ubuntu packages:

apt install libtinfo5 libncurses5
  • Without libtinfo5 Vivado will not start.
  • Without libncurses5 simulation fails.

After running the Vivado installer on Linux you will need to install cable drivers as root.

If you do not install cable drivers you will not be able to connect to boards.

This is the case for all Linux installs, not just Ubuntu.

Installation steps:

# change directory to your Vivado install, for example:
cd /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.2

# cd into the drivers directory (the script MUST be run there)
cd data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers

# run the cable installer with root privileges
sudo ./install_drivers
