Record #5936
Problem Title: File Name: F15I_SP2.ZIP Design Entry Tools, Design Implementation Tools and Coregen. **This Service Pack is an update to the Foundation F1.5i software.** **You MUST have F1.5i software installed before installing this update.** Notes: *This file does not include Xilinx Device Data File updates. To install Data File updates, download the appropriate device family data files from the Software Updates page at http://support.xilinx.com/support/techsup/sw_updates/index.htm *This file does not include Foundation Express synthesis update. To install the Express v3.1 update, download fexp_sp1a.zip from the Software Updates page at: http://support.xilinx.com/support/techsup/sw_updates/index.htm Platform: Win95/WinNT Installation/Use: Unzip the contents of F15I_SP2.ZIP into a Temp directory, maintaining subdirectory structure. The ZIP file will extract a subdirectory called FND_SP2 which contains the Service Pack update files as follows: <TEMP>\fnd_sp2\design_entry_upd.exe <TEMP>\fnd_sp2\design_impl_upd3.exe <TEMP>\fnd_sp2\coregen_upd.exe <TEMP>\fnd_sp2\device_upd.bat <TEMP>\fnd_sp2\files <TEMP>\readme.txt You should have about 100MB free disk space on the drive where the %TEMP% directory is located to allow the files to have enough space to be extracted. To install Design Entry Tools update: Double-click on design_entry_upd.exe To add XC9500XV support and additional speed files for Virtex, XC4000XLA, XC4000XV, SpartanXL to the Design Entry Tools: Double-click on device_upd.bat *In addition to the above, update the Foundation Project Manager's Part selector after having installed the Xilinx Device Data Files by also referencing: (Xilinx Solution 6028) To install Design Implementation Tools update: Double-click on design_impl_upd3.exe ***If prompted to overwrite existing files, select Yes to overwrite.*** To install CORE Generator update: Double-click on coregen_upd.exe *You must have Coregen v1.5 installed before installing this update. This is an incremental update only. *When prompted for install directory, select directory where Coregen is currently installed (typically C:\Coregen). *New IP for CORE Generator must be downloaded separately at: http://www.xilinx.com/products/logicore/coregen/corelinx1_5.htm *For information on what's new in this Coregen update, please see: (Xilinx Solution 5630) ***If prompted to overwrite existing files, select Yes to overwrite.*** ------------------------------------------- Installation Troubleshooting: 1. Error "Cannot Find Program Location" when installing Design Entry Tools Update. This is caused by attempting to install this Service Pack over version F1.5 or earlier of the Foundation software. This Service Pack must only be installed over version F1.5i. 2. An error occurred during the move data process: -115 Component: Aldec File Group: Exe File: %XILINX%\Active\exe\APPCN.DLL This is caused by attempting to install the Design Entry Tools update while Foundation is currently running. Close Foundation before installing this Service Pack. 3. An error occurred during the move data process: -113 Component: New NT Files File Group: New NT Files File: %TEMP%\PFT1~TMP\IMPL\data\xc9536.adr This error is caused by installing one of the Service Pack updates too quickly after installing another update. The %TEMP% directory needs about 5-10 seconds to clean itself up from the first install. If a subsequent install is run before the %TEMP% directory has been cleaned up, you may see this error. Simply rerun the install which failed, and this time it should work successfully. End of Record #5936 - Last Modified: 03/26/99 13:40 |
