What is the ISE 14.7 VM?

The ISE 14.7 VM is a virtual machine that runs on Oracle Linux and executes the ISE Design Suite 14.7 tools. It is a single-user solution that extends the ISE products for the latest Microsoft Windows offering. The ISE 14.7 VM allows you to use the Project Navigator as a design entry environment, perform synthesis, implementation, simulation, and programming for all ISE devices, including Spartan-6, Virtex-6, and Coolrunner families. The ISE 14.7 VM does not support the PlanAhead tool as a design entry environment, nor does it support Synplify, ModelSim, Mentor Graphics Questa Advanced Simulator, SmartXplorer, or System Generator.

How to install and use the ISE 14.7 VM?

To install and use the ISE 14.7 VM, you need to have a Windows 10 host machine with at least 8 GB of RAM and 50 GB of free disk space. You also need to download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox (version 5.1 or later) from https://www.virtualbox.org/. Then, you need to download the ISE 14.7 VM for Windows 10 from https://www.xilinx.com/downloadNav/vivado-design-tools/archive-ise.html . The download consists of four files: Base Image (TAR/GZIP - 1.95 GB), Install Data A (ZIP - 1.97 GB), Install Data B (ZIP - 1.97 GB), and Install Data C (ZIP - 1.98 GB). You need to extract all four files into a single folder on your host machine.

After extracting the files, you need to launch Oracle VM VirtualBox and import the ISE 14.7 VM by selecting File > Import Appliance and browsing to the folder where you extracted the files. You will see a file named ise_147_vm.ovf that you need to select and click Open. Then, you need to click Import to start importing the virtual machine. This may take several minutes depending on your system performance.

Once the import is complete, you will see a virtual machine named ise_147_vm in your Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager window. You can start the virtual machine by selecting it and clicking Start. This will launch the Oracle Linux operating system with the ISE Design Suite 14.7 tools installed. You will see a desktop with icons for Project Navigator, iMPACT, ChipScope Pro Analyzer, Xilinx Documentation Navigator, Xilinx License Configuration Manager, and Terminal.

To use the ISE tools, you need to have a valid license file for your device family. You can obtain a license file from https://www.xilinx.com/getlicense. You can copy the license file to your host machine and then transfer it to your virtual machine using a shared folder or a USB drive. You can also use the Xilinx License Configuration Manager on your virtual machine to generate or manage your license file.

Once you have a license file, you can launch Project Navigator by double-clicking on its icon on the desktop. You can create a new project or open an existing one by selecting File > New Project or File > Open Project respectively. You can then add your source files, set your device properties, run synthesis, implementation, simulation, and programming as usual.
