Install

1. Download Xilinx Vivado source. You'll need credentials to log in.
2. Move the file to the src directory:

   
   [ulysses] % cd /src/util/Xilinx
   [ulysses] Xilinx% mv /tmp/Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_Web_2017.4_1216_1_Lin64.bin .
   [ulysses] Xilinx% chmod 755 Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_Web_2017.4_1216_1_Lin64.bin
   
   

3. In order to avoid an X11 graphical tunneling error, copy your personal .Xauthority file to root's home directory:

   
   [ulysses] % sudo cp .Xauthority /root 
   
   

4. Run the installer:

   
   [ulysses] Xilinx% sudo ./Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_Web_2017.4_1216_1_Lin64.bin
   
   

5. Install to target location:

   
   /util/Xilinx/
   
   

6. Update the /util/Xilinx/Vivado/current symlink:

   
   [ulysses] Vivado% sudo rm current
   [ulysses] Vivado% sudo ln -s 2017.4 current
   
   

7. Lastly, install the boards.

   Launch the vivado binary:

   
   % sudo /util/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.2/bin/vivado
   
   

   From the TCL console, refresh the catalog, install the boards:

   
   xhub::refresh_catalog [xhub::get_xstores xilinx_board_store]
   xhub::install [xhub::get_xitems]
   
   

   This process installs the board files to /root/.Xilinx, so you must manually move them to /util/Xilinx/Vivado/YYYY.N/data/xhub/boards/*. Try to figure out how to reset the board destination location.
