0. Introduction

Some notes about using Xilinx ISE 14.7, which is the most recent version, for devices not supported under Vivado

1. Old libstdc++ libraries limited XPS functionality

Under Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS on starting xps only got the ability to create a text file.

Xilinx Platform Studio (EDK) GUI not fully initiating in Linux describes the issue.

Followed the suggestion to move the old libstdc++ libraries installed with ISE to a backup directory, so they are not loaded:

$ mkdir /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/bak
$ mv /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/libstdc++* /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/bak/
$ mkdir /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/common/lib/lin64/bak
$ mv /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/common/lib/lin64/libstdc++* /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/common/lib/lin64/bak/

After doing that, on starting Xilinx Platform Studio get the option to open the Create New XPS Project Using BSB Wizard which is mentioned in MicroZed Chronicles: MicroBlaze in Spartan-6 (ISE/EDK) and 7 Series (Vivado)
