FPGA tools on LISP (2428)
Vivado and Vitis is installed locally on the computers in LISP. To launch Vivado go to Applications->Education-> Vivado <or> Vitis IDE (respectively)
Alternatively, you can find it by searching for apps (Windows key):
Launch in terminal
Launching the applications is done by entering the following commands in the terminal:
Questa with GUI:
vsim
Vivado with GUI:
vivado
Vlog (terminal only):

First time initialization
If you need to use Xilinx' software other places than the RHEL7 machines at LISP, utilize the following guide:
cd nano .bashrc
Append the following lines to the end of the .bashrc file:
# Questa 10.6c export LM_LICENSE_FILE=5370@lisens.ifi.uio.no export PATH=$PATH:/projects/nanus/eda/Mentor/2017_2018/Questa/questasim/bin # Modelsim library export MODELSIM=/projects/robin/CADlib/modelsimCADLIB.ini # Vivado 2019.1 64-bit version if ! [ -x "$(command -v vivado)" ]; then source /projects/robin/programs/Vivado/2019.1/settings64.sh export PATH=$PATH:/projects/robin/programs/Vivado/2019.1/bin fi
After you have added the latter and saved the .bashrc file, restart the terminal.
Digilent Adept on Linux
Digilent Adept to program the Atlys board can be obtained from the Digilent website.
Note that some Xilinx scripts require GNU BASH. Ubuntu (and possibly others) come with DASH. Disable DASH by reconfiguring it:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
Note that the tools available on Windows, such as Xilinx ISE/PlanAhead and Modelsim are not supported by drift on Linux.
To enable autocompletion and history in XMD:
rlwrap xmd
License server
Licenses can be checked out from lisens.ifi.uio.no:
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=5370@lisens.ifi.uio.no
On Windows:
setx LM_LICENSE_FILE 5370@lisens.ifi.uio.no
