The XilinxUpdate utility performs a check to compare the
currently installed version of software with software updates that
may be available on the Xilinx® website. The utility displays the
currently installed version of the ISE® software, and if an update
is found, the update will be available on the website. You can display
more information about the software features available in the update.
You can also download and install a newer version of the software.
The XilinxUpdate utility will tell you if your installation is up
to date. If a new version of the software is available, do the following:
- Click More Info to display information
about the updates available.
- Click OK to proceed with downloading
the software updates. The files necessary to update your installation
will be downloaded and installed in one step. There is no need to
run an installer after the download has occurred.
Note You must have write permission on the installation directory to perform
the update.
- Click Cancel to decline the download
of newer software. If you cancel the download, the XilinxUpdate download
pauses and confirms the cancellation. Your current installation is not affected.
Note If you decline an update
from an automatic check, you will be only be presented with the automatic
update notification after the update period elapses again.
