Xilinx recommends that you revisit this procedure to restore your settings to their previous state after installation.

Batch Mode Installation Flow

Beginning in Vivado 2015.1, the installer can be run as an unattended batch process. To run unattended, a standard Edition and install location must be specified or a configuration file must be present which tells the installer the install location and which of the tools, devices and options you wish to install.

RECOMMENDED:

It is recommended that you generate this reference for each new quarterly release, so that new devices, tools, options or other changes will be accounted for in your options file.

To begin using batch mode, open a command shell and change to the directory where you have stored your extracted installer.

Note:

For Windows, open the command window with administrator privileges and run the xsetup.bat file, found in the \bin directory, and not xsetup.exe with the options below.

Generate Configuration File

Run: xsetup -b ConfigGen

This will put you in an interactive mode where you will see the following menu. Choose an edition from the list given below.

1. Vivado WebPACK

2. Vivado Design Edition

3. Vivado System Edition

4. Documentation Navigator (Standalone)

After you select an edition, you will be prompted for a location/filename for your configuration file and the interactive mode will exit.

Below is a sample of a WebPACK configuration file:

#### Vivado WebPACK Install Configuration ####

A value of 1 means that option is selected, a value of 0 means the option is unselected.

Run the Installer

Now that you have edited your configuration file to reflect your installation preferences, you are ready to run the installer. As part of the installer command-line, you will need to indicate your acceptance of the Xilinx and Third Party license agreements, and confirm you understand the WebTalk Terms and Conditions.

Xilinx End-User License Agreement (EULA)

http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2016_3/end-user-license

-agreement.pdf

Third Party End-User License Agreement (EULA)

http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2016_3/ug763_tplg.pdf

WebTalk Terms and Conditions

By indicating I AGREE, I also confirm that I have read Section 13 of the terms and conditions above concerning WebTalk and have been afforded the opportunity to read the WebTalk FAQ posted at http://www.xilinx.com/webtalk . I understand that I am able to disable WebTalk later if certain criteria described in Section 13(c) apply. If they don't apply, I can disable WebTalk by uninstalling the Software or using the Software on a machine not connected to the internet. If I fail to satisfy the applicable criteria or if I fail to take the applicable steps to prevent such transmission of information, I agree to allow

Xilinx to collect the information described in Section 13(a) for the purposes described in

Section 13(b).

There is a command-line switch, -a or --agree for you to indicate your agreement to each of the above. If one of the above is left out of the list, or the agree switch is not specified, the installer will exit with an error and will not install.

Example Command-Lines

This is an example of the command-line for a typical new installation using a configuration file.

xsetup --agree XilinxEULA,3rdPartyEULA,WebTalkTerms --batch Install --config install_config.txt

If you wish to use one of Xilinx’s default Edition configurations, you do not have to specify the --config option, but since the destination directory is included in the configuration file, you will be required to specify this on the command-line.

xsetup --agree 3rdPartyEULA,WebTalkTerms,XilinxEULA --batch Install --edition

"Vivado System Edition" --location "C:\Xilinx"
