This page summarizes the different ways you can access the Vivado tools. There are a variety of methods for accessing these tools outside of the Digital lab. External Link
The primary method for accessing the Vivado design tools is by using the computers in the digital laboratory (room 423 EB). The computers in this laboratory all have the Vivado tools installed and configured to operate properly. If you have any trouble running the Vivado tools in this room, contact the ECEN system administrators.
You can download and install an evaluation copy of the Vivado tools onto your own computer. Vivado can be run on Windows and Linux but does require a large amount of disk space and memory to operate properly. The Xilinx Vivado Webpack distribution can be used by students to generate circuits for the FPGA we use in our lab. Note that the version of the tools available online may not correspond to the version we use in the lab but you should be able to complete all assignments using the WebPack version. We do not have any technical support to help you with the installation and use of these tools on your personal computer.
The Vivado tools have been installed on the Citrix CAEDM server and can be run on any computer that can access the CAEDM Citrix server. The following page describes how to run the citrix client and access the Citrix applications.
