Installing EDK  
You must use an Administrator login when installing EDK on a Windows Platform. Xilinx  
also recommends using an Administrator login when running EDK on Windows.  
To install EDK on your Windows PC:  
1. Insert the EDK Installation DVD into your PC. The installer opens automatically.  
If the installation process does not start on its own, open Windows Explorer and  
double-click setup.exeon the DVD.  
The installation process prompts you to enter the registration ID.  
2. Once you have entered the registration ID, continue to install the product.  
Note: If the environment variable XILINX_EDKis set, the default directory for installation is the  
value of the variable %XILINX_EDK%. Otherwise, the default EDK installation directory is c:\EDK.  
You can change this to any other directory.  
Note: The destination directory name cannot contain spaces.  
Environment Variables  
The EDK installer creates or modifies the following variables on your machine. These  
variables are added to the system settings.  
XILINX_EDK  
Sets the value of this variable to the EDK installation directory.  
PATH  
Prefixes the PATH environment variable with %XILINX_EDK%\bin\nt.  
EDK tools require the Cygwin tools distributed by Red Hat. A copy of these tools is  
distributed with the EDK installation. When you run XPS, the SDK IDE, or Xilinx Shell,  
your registry is checked for the entry:  
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin.  
If a compatible version of Cygwin is found pre-installed on your machine, the EDK tools  
use it. Otherwise, the registry is set up to point to the Cygwin tools distributed in the EDK  
installation area.  
Note: When you install EDK, Cygwin installation files are copied to your system. Whether or not the  
copied files are installed depends on the state of existing Cygwin installations on the machine. If you  
already have Cygwin installed, and if the existing Cygwin installation meets requirements, EDK does  
not install Cygwin (and the existing Cygwin installation is used). Otherwise, EDK installs Cygwin from  
the installation area. For more information, refer to the “EDK Shell” Chapter in the Embedded System  
Tools Reference Manual, available at http://www.xilinx.com/ise/embedded/edk_docs.htm.  
Network Installation  
To install EDK for access on a network, perform the following steps.  
1. Install the EDK software tools on a PC network server.  
Make sure that your users know the location of the software tools and have access to  
the installation directory, and that they have administrator privileges for the following  
steps.  
2. From the local client machine, browse to the following directory:  
network_install_location\bin\ntand run setXenv.bat. Running this  
program sets up the environment and registry settings needed to run the Xilinx tools  
from the remote location.

Other Information  
Migrating Old Projects  
The IP Core Version Management Wizard migrates older projects to the current version of  
XPS. It will point out changes to the cores, and in some cases, help you upgrade to newer  
revisions of cores currently in your project.  
Example User Constraint Files (UCFs)  
There are some IPs, such as the PLB RapidIO LVDS and the OPB PCI, which need certain  
example UCFs to be available in your project area. When such IPs are used in an EDK  
project, tools give out the following ALERT message:  
An example UCF is available for this core and must be modified for use  
in the system. Please refer to the EDK Getting Started guide for the  
location of this file.  
The UCF file for the IP can be found at:  
$XILINX_EDK/hw/XilinxProcessorIPLib/pcores/peripheral_name/data/  
where $XILINX_EDK is the installation area.  
Setting Up the Simulation Environment  
For simulation of embedded designs, you must set up your simulation environment. This  
is required every time you install a new release or a service pack of EDK. For information  
about setting up simulation environments, refer to the XPS Help.  
Third Party Tool Requirements  
EDK tools support ModelSim PE/SE & NCSim LDV/IUS versions as supported by ISE 9.2i
