Description

Keywords: Service Pack, Readme, Solaris, software update, 2.1isp6, Service Pack 6

Urgency: Standard.

General Description:
This answer record contains information on the Readme file for 2.1i Service Pack 6 for Solaris.

Solution

This 2.1i Service Pack 6 Update is intended as an update to all 2.1i Alliance installations on Solaris 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_sol.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_sol.tar.gz
tar xvf 21i_sp6_implementation_sol.tar

3. Run "solalli.C22.5/setup".

Device Data Files Update Installation Instructions:
1. Download the 21i_sp6_data_sol.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_sol.tar.gz
tar xvf 21i_sp6_data_sol.tar

3. Run "soldata.C22.6/setup"

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 the Service Pack update is added.

NOTE 2: The Xilinx 2.1i environment variable should be set before commencing installation of Service Pack 6.

For information on the contents of the Implementation Tools Update, please see (Xilinx Answer 8911).
