Toggle SideBar. Xilinx Support Community. Sign in to ask the community. View This Post. July 1, at AM. Vivado Hello all! I installed Vivado As long as the PC is running, I can close and reopen Vivado and edit my project with no problems. The green bar slides from one side to the other for some time until it stucks and Vivado stops responding. This is the same for every file in the project.

I found out that trying to edit older projects the editor also does not load any more, although they worked fine in Vivado Furthermore, reinstalling Vivado But reinstalling Vivado and starting a fresh project works fine.

Currently, the only workaround for me is backing up all my design files, reinstalling Vivado, creating a new project, and importing all design files every time I restart my PC. Thanks in advance for your support! Compare to Sigasi, Vivado provide less capability, but at least it works normally. All Answers. I got same issue here. Thank you Kele! Deleting Roaming data also works for me. I am now writing a batch file that deletes this file before starting Vivado.

To the Vivado developers: I attached the file here. What causes this problem? Will you be able to release a fix? Unknown file type. I'm facing the same issue in ubuntu Can you suggest any fix for me?

Xilinx hidden by default. It seems like deleting the manifest. What consistently works for me is the following after reboot : 1 Delete the manifest. Now the editor should load successfully. Hey, can you suggest where the manifest.

Xilinx if you are using Linux. By restart do you mean to shut down vivado and reopen it? Hi Madhavhav6 Yes, close Vivado and reopen it. But for your case, Vivado seems does not read configuration file correctly.

If you're using 8. The w mode creates the file if it doesn't exist, and truncates it to empty on open if it does. The rest of the program might or might not like this! Note however that this does not reset where other channels open on the file think they are. This can lead to strange effects such as writing at a large offset, with the OS filling out the preceding bytes with zeroes even without locking. A really easy way to do this is to just over-write your file with an empty file.

For example create an empty file you can do this manually or using the following TCL code :. You say the file is opened exclusively with another process but you can write to it?! I think you have permission problems.

Are you using Linux or Unix?! The file is not exclusively opened if you are able to read and write to it and you may have no appropriate permission to delete the file. Also it is better to test the code on a file you know you have all permissions on it. If the code is working you can focus on your target file.

The file is opened with another process, but the Tcl script that reads and writes to the file is also in that same process.

It's just that I can only read and write, but not rename or delete. The whole "permissions denied" is the error message I get when I try to rename or delete the file from within this process.
