macOS Ventura supports running x86-64 binaries on Linux VMs. However, even with Rosetta installing Vivado is not a simple one-click process. This guide covers some workarounds and tricks to get Vivado up and running on ARM64 Mac.
- Make sure you're running macOS Ventura or higher.
- Install UTM and create a Debian VM with Rosetta according to their guide.
- Other distributions should also work, but commands will be different.
- Install x86-64 version of java and
libtinfo. Vivado depends on them.
$ sudo apt install default-jdk:amd64 libtinfo5:amd64- Download a copy of self-extracting web installer from Xilinx website.
- Run the installer with
--confirmflag.
$ /path/to/vivado/installer --confirm- The installer will print something like
About to extract 40 KB in /tmp/selfgzXXXX ... Proceed ?. Check the path/tmp/selfgzXXXX, and proceed. - After extracting, the installer will ask about running
./xsetup. Before pressingy, open/tmp/selfgzXXXX/xsetupin your editor and delete architecture checking code which looks like this:
# ERROR out if this installation is running on 32 bit OS
# and does not support 32 bit installation
if [ "$(uname -m)" != "x86_64" ]; then
...
fi- Save the file and press
yin the installer. Continue with installation as usual. - Patch the
loader. Open/path/to/xilinx/Vivado/2022.2/bin/loaderin your editor, where/path/to/xilinxis the path to Xilinx software suite installation. Remove architecture checking code as you did on step 6.
I installed as per the steps provided above,
when i try to create block design in vivado, it gives following error:-
is there any fix for this
