create an account. (After creating an account, you will be redirected to the page to

1. Close the CORE Generator application if it is running.
2. Download the IP Update ZIP file (Windows) or tar.gz file (UNIX) from the following
location and save it to a temporary directory:

• For UNIX, Xilinx recommends that you unpack the tar.gz file using the UNIX
command line utilities gunzip and tar. WinZip and GNU tar are not
recommended due to differences in the way they handle files with long path
names. Please see Xilinx Answer 11162
for details.
4. Extract the ZIP file (ise_71i_ip_update3.zip) or tar.gz (ise_71i_ip_update3.tar.gz)

utility to overwrite all existing files and maintain the directory structure defined in the
archive.
5. To verify the root directory of your Xilinx installation, do one of the following:
• For Windows: Type
echo%XILINX% from a DOS prompt.
• For Unix: If you have already installed the Xilinx ISE software, the Xilinx variable
defined by your set-up script identifies the location of the Xilinx installation
directory. After sourcing the Xilinx set-up script, type
echo $XILINX to determine
