| − | Issues: |
||
| − | * When first starting <tt>ise</tt>, it will ask for a license by starting a browser (chromium on my system). But as it sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to Xilinx-compiles stdc++ library, chromium-browser cannot start start. I fixed this with: |
||
| − | cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser |
||
| − | mv chromium-browser chromium_browser_ |
||
| − | cat > crhomium-browser <<EOF |
||
| − | #!/bin/bash |
||
| − | LD_LIBRARY_PATH= |
||
| − | set > /tmp/set |
||
| − | /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_ "$@" |
||
| − | EOF |
||
| − | chmod a+x chromium-browser. |
||
| − | This will of cause stop working after the next update of chromium-browser. |
||
| − | * Coregen doesn't load the full IP library (or something). Fixed this with the [http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/53695.htm XIL_CG_LOAD_ALL_FAMILIES=true] environment variable above. If you don't do this, the IP Core generator gives these messages in the console: |
