General Description:

This answer record contains information on the Readme file for 2.1i Service Pack 6 for HP-UX.

Solution

This 2.1i Service Pack 6 Update is intended as an update to all 2.1i Alliance installations on HP-UX workstations.

All fixes packaged in the previous 2.1i Service Packs are included in Service Pack 6. Installation of the earlier Service Packs is NOT necessary.

Implementation Update Installation Instructions:

1. Download the 21i_sp6_implementation_hp.tar.gz update file from: http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_sw_updates_home.jsp
2. Untar the downloaded file into an empty "staging" directory.

For example:

cd /home/staging_dir

gzip -d 21i_sp6_implementation_hp.tar.gz

tar xvf 21i_sp6_implementation_hp.tar

3. Run the following command line:

hpalli.C22.7/perl.hp hpalli.C22.7/install

Device Data Files Update Installation Instructions:

1. Download the 21i_sp6_data_hp.tar.gz update file from: http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_sw_updates_home.jsp

2. Untar the downloaded file into an empty "staging" directory.

For example:

cd /home/staging_dir

gzip -d 21i_sp6_data_hp.tar.gz

tar xvf 21i_sp6_data_hp.tar

3. Run the following command line:

hpalli.C22.7/perl.hp hpalli.C22.7/install

NOTE 1: The destination directory specified during the setup operation must contain an existing 2.1i installation. Only existing files will be updated. Any new device support not previously installed should first be installed from the 2.1i CD before adding the Service Pack update.

NOTE 2: The Xilinx 2.1i environment variable should be set before commencing installation of Service Pack 6. (Please see (Xilinx Answer 8911) for information on the contents of the Implementation Tools Update.)
