XPS License

Hello,

I downloaded and installed Xilinx ISE WebPACK 14.2 to get started with Zynq before buying the Zedboard.

Then I followed this guide: ZedBoard_CTT_v14.1_120808.pdf (http://www.xilinx.com/university/zynq/documentation/ZedBoard_CTT_v14.1_120808.pdf) until page 13 where I get informed that I don't have a license for the XPS feature.

Do I have to buy a license or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards
Mathias

Hi,

In ISE WebPACK compare chart it's shows XPS (Xilinx Platfor Studio) is locked to 3 smallest Zync devices.

Verify selected device.

OT:
I will now start to DL ISE 14.2 WebPACK.

I changed the device to a smaller one, the issue is still there. Any other ideas?

I just ordered my board and am trying to get a headstart on development... however I am getting this same error on a fresh 14.2 download and install with the webpack license. I have no other versions installed.

If I launch XPS directly and just ignore the error on startup, I can still do a few things, but other things produce errors.

However, if I follow the CTT and XPS is launched from PlanAhead, it produces a second error:
INTERNAL_ERROR:PersonalityModule:baspmspec.c:1751:1.79 - Could not load definition file <qvirtex6.acd>
And does nothing else...

Any ideas?

I have written up a licensing guide here:

http://zynqgeek.blogspot.com/2012/08/xilinx-tools-install-and-license-howto.html

I hope it is some help to you, as when I followed it I did not see any issues with EPS/EDK/SDK/PlanAhead licensing.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that page describes exactly what I did to obtain and install my license.

Can you post a screen shot of what your license list looks like after you install your webpack license (sorted by Version Limit)?

I end up with 8 licensed features with a green "Version Limit": xps_tdp, V_WebPACK, PlanAhead, WebPACK, Web_Package, and XC7Z010/XC7Z020/XC7Z030. Everything else is red.

What is somewhat interesting is that there are a ton of features which show builtin license up to "Version Limit" 2012.07, many of which are XPS related, and 14.2 is supposed to be 2012.2... I wonder if something is weird with those builtin features.

I just got my Zynq board and I have the same problem as the OP. I'm running XP on VMWare Fusion.
I've downloaded and run the GPIO demo from the Booting and Configuration Guide, so some things are working with this setup.

I'm using ISE 14.2 on Linux 64 bit and also get a license error every time I start XPS. After clicking OK (and closing the licensing setup window), XPS continues to start up and I didn't find any further problems. Its just annoying to click that away every time.

Bye
Hansi

I uninstalled 14.2 and removed the webpack license file from .Xilinx. Then I downloaded 14.2 again and generated a new WebPack license. I still get an XPS licensing error at page 13 of the Concepts, Tools and Techniques reference.

7010, 7020, and 7030 are supposed to have XPS/SDK support in WebPACK. However, there were some known issues in 14.1 that may have carried over into 14.2 I suggest you look at this thread and the referenced Answer Record.
