Xilinx ISE on Windows

How to Use

The Xilinx Integrated Synthesis Environment (ISE) provided is version 14.7. Because this legacy software is no longer natively supported, it runs inside a VirtualBox virtual machine (VM).

Release information and official documentation can be found here: AMD ISE VM Documentation.

• To start the software, use the Launch ISE shortcut on the Windows desktop. This will open the virtual machine, where you can access ISE and other related tools.
• Warning: Files saved inside the VM will be lost when it is shut down. If you log out or another user signs in, all unsaved files will be permanently deleted.
• To transfer files between the VM and the host system, use the synced folder:
  • On the VM desktop: the Xilinx drive
  • On the Windows host: the Xilinx Temp Folder on the desktop
