Creat Tri-mode Ethernet MAC Wrapper v1.6 IP core with CORE Generator. Revise Verilog code, add RESET signal to Marvell chip. UCF: NET 'Phyrstn' LOC = J14; 3. Download BIt file to FPGA, connect to PC. But LED for Marvell chip pins LedLink10/100/1000 is not light? Can anyone give me some suggestIon? Xilinx is developing QuickTake Video Tutorials in order to assist our users in making the transition from the ISE software tools to the Vivado ® Design Suite. This entire solution is brand new, so we can't rely on previous knowledge of the technology.

Xilinx does not provide official installation of their FPGA IDEs for macOS, but there’s a nice way around – by using a Linux running on virtual machine. There’s an older how-to for Ubuntu, but I prefer to keep it light weight and went for Lubuntu instead.

Prerequisites

  1. Xilinx ISE WebPACK 14.7 (this one you can download inside the virtual machine)

Prepare virtual machine

After installing the VirtualBox and downloading Lubuntu LiveCD, go and create a new virtual machine with at least 40GB of disk space (you’ll actually need less than that, but ISE download is huge and the same is the installed version – you’ll need some legroom).

Mount the LiveCD and install the bare minimum Lubuntu with GUI. After installing the Lubuntu, open the web browser inside it and download ISE WebPACK installer.

Installing ISE is pretty straight forward, just extract the archive and run these commands in terminal:

When installing choose WebPACK version and uncheck “Install cable drivers” as that will fail (we’ll build the driver in the next step). After the installation is finished I’d suggest you add Xilinx bin path to PATH in your ~/.bashrc file:

You’ll also need to get a license file from Xilinx support site and add it’s path to environment (in the same ~/.bashrc file) as this:

Build the driver

You’ll need to install a few packages using APT:

Now clone the usb driver from a GIT repo:

Set up the driver and restart the udev:

And add the dirver path as a pre-load variable in ~/.bashrc:

And you’re set, now if you’ve set up everything as I’ve said, type ise in the terminal and it should open up ISE WebPACK.

Use ISE

Don’t forget to pass the Xilinx device to Lubuntu from macOS in VirtualBox Devices -> USB menu.
