Vivado 2017.4 Download

When trying to download and install Vivado 2017.4, users may encounter difficulties in unpacking the xz files due to the install_driver_wrapper.bat file crashing the system. This issue has been reported by several users who have attempted to run the installation process.

For those familiar with ARM-based dev boards from STM and TI, it's surprising that the JTAG/USB drivers are not available as a standalone package. In fact, the Digilent drivers would be a welcome addition as a downloadable package.

To troubleshoot this issue, one user suggested running wdreg which reported successful completion. This suggests that the problem lies with the unpacking process rather than the download itself.

For those who are new to Unix, the command `find . -name '*dll' | egrep 'dpcomm|djtg'` can be used to filter out all files and directories except those containing 'dpcomm' or 'djtg'. This command is particularly useful when searching for specific file types in large directories.

In Vivado, users can use the I/O Pin Planning layout to perform pin assignments in a design. They can also customize IP, instantiate IP, and verify the hierarchy of their design IP.

The UltraFast Design Methodology provides guidelines for creating timing constraints according to the design scenario, synthesizing and implementing the design, and optionally generating and downloading a bitstream to a demo board. This methodology is introduced in Vivado Synthesis, Implementation, and Bitstream Generation.

Additionally, Vivado introduces the RTL and the RTL design flow, recommended coding guidelines, using control signals, and recommendations on resets. The process of behavioral simulation and the simulation options available in the Vivado IDE are also described.

The UltraFast Design Methodology: Board and Device Planning course covers the design flow using non-project batch mode, including using design analysis commands and how constraints are managed in non-project mode. It also introduces the project-based flow in the Vivado Design Suite, covering creating a project, adding files to the project, exploring the Vivado IDE, and simulating the design.

The article concludes by mentioning that Vivado supports various design flows and is used for designing FPGAs such as 7 series and UltraScale FPGAs, stacked silicon interconnect-based 3D IC devices, Zynq SoCs, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs, and Versal adaptive SoCs.
