It's as though they really don't care if someone can access their tools, or not. But it seems all they have is 'you can have any color you want so long as it is black.' In short, I can use their installer, or nothing at all. A memory stick, available at a fixed price, would be an option I think. One thing that crosses my mind is that Xilinx should have a solid option available that gets an installable into someone's hands if they cannot download over the web. You cover a lot here for me to think about.

Xilinx knows that their tool install requirements are excessive and in many cases unbearable but haven't tied this to the bottom line for some reason. Perhaps more people should submit posts to the Xilinx user's forum asking Xilinx could help Intel provide support for Xilins devices in Quartus.

So there are alternatives for learning how to do FPGA development if Xilinx is tone deaf. The free version of Quartus is a comparably reasonable 6.6 GB. Others have commented that they couldn't use their browser, etc, etc. For the Vivado 2019.2 I had to use the options page to turn off file optimization. I believe that the latest gargantuan monster has to be installed into an empty folder. I suggest that you carefully read all of the latest notices on the Xilinx download page. Using the Xilinx Unified installer has never worked as my connection to xilinx always gets broken before completion. I was given a 'special' download connection by Xilinx and that never worked at all. It took me 2 weeks to install Vivado 2019.2.

I don't have broadband and trying to download 60 GB at 3 Mbsp DSL rates is a ridiculous in frustration. (My first experience with them.) It's quite a contrast, frankly.

Not so with what I've experienced from Xilinx, this last week. But when I call, they are very very helpful each and every time despite that fact.

I'm also a hobbyist with Microchip, who cannot hope to expect anything from me in terms of large globs of revenue. And nothing even close on the machine I'm currently using.

I've never in my life experienced a downloader exhibiting so much difficulty or a company so unwilling to discuss getting access to their software to use their devices. I'm currently ignorant about other alternatives and a letter to Xilinx Sales merely directed me away from them and to their forum for support. If there is any other alternative idea about getting the software installed on my machine, I'd love to hear it.

I also should note that I'm running a 64-bit version of the Unified Installer to match the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Professional that I'm running. I like to make things as crystal clear as I can. I'm including 10 screen-shots (it's 10 steps to get from 'unpacking' the software to 'first error message') in case any of it helps to clarify what I'm seeing at my end. (I don't have any other such software on this machine and it's a personal machine without any corporate proxies, etc.) No change in the behavior regardless of what I do.Īny thoughts about what else I might try would be greatly appreciated - especially if they work!! I did turn off the Microsoft Defender firewall, just in case. But this software has difficulties quite early in the process (as little as 1 Gb or less and I'm already getting continual errors.) Some of that software has been equally large (Microsoft MSDN downloads can be very large, at times.) I've never had any difficulties.

The machine is a very plain Windows 10 Professional system that I've been using for four years (more) without any difficulties from any other hardware or software providers. I've been almost a week (not quite) trying to use the installer. I've posted a question at the Xilinx forum already on this topic: Here.
