My operating system is Linux Mint 17.2, the board is Nexys 3, ise version is 14.7.
Ise installation is not a problem, it is downloading. Bit to the board when the hint of error, engaged in a night, finally succeeded! Write down the process and hope it will solve your problem.
Searching the Internet for this problem, there is a solution seems useful (but I do not use it), https://paddydempster.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/ Using-xilinx-usb-cable-on-ubuntu-without-windvr/,http://rmdir.de/~michael/xilinx/, this is a two link, you can try it. The problem is that the WINDRVR6 module is no longer available in the new Linux kernel, so someone has written a module to simulate its functionality.
This method in the author here regardless of use, so find another way out. Considering that Nexys 3 is a digilent company, it is only using Xilinx's Spatan-6 chip, so digilent should also provide. bit download method. Try to hold the mentality, the author in the Digilent official online search, but also really to find, Digilent Plugin for Xilinx Tools, is this thing, is an ISE plug-in, function and use in the official website and download the compression package has, To make this thing work, you also need to pre-install digilent Adept.
In short, install the digilent Adept First, then install Digilent Plugin for Xilinx Tools, and then you can detect Nexys 3 and download the. bit.
Plug-in installation path There are several, the author is the libcsedigilent.so and libcsedigilent.xml two files placed in the xilinx/14.7/ise_ds/ise/lib/ lin64/plugins/digilent/libcsedigilent/ under this path.
This method works for Nexys 3, but does not know if it works for Xilinx's own board.
Module WINDRVR6 is not loaded. Please reinstall the cable drivers. See Answer Record 22648.
