Step 4: Install ISE
Foundation ISE must be installed on your system.
Tip:
It is recommended that you uninstall older installations of ISE prior to installing these programs
unless you require the older versions.
Tip:
It is usually better to install tools and design files in directory paths that contain only alphanumeric
and underscore (_) characters. Avoid spaces, hyphens, plus signs, and other special characters as not all
tools may function properly.
Windows
If you do not already have Foundation ISE 6.2i on your system, you can install an evaluation version
using the CDs shipped with this ML300 Evaluation Platform.
Install CDs
1.
Insert the ISE Disk 1 into your CD drive.
2.
Follow the on-screen directions to complete installation. (
Note:
After installing Disk 1, you will
be prompted to insert Disk 2 into your CD Drive)
Set Environment
After installation, set the following environment variables if they were not set by the installer:
•
XILINX
: Set to your ISE install directory
•
PATH
: Prefix with %XILINX%\bin\nt
Apply Service Pack
1.
Run the ISE service pack executable by double clicking on it. (The service pack was
downloaded during “Step 3: Download ML300 Reference Design, ISE / EDK Service Packs, and
ChipScope Pro Software”.)
2.
Follow the on-screen directions to complete installation.
Verify Installation

Open a Command Prompt / DOS shell by:
