@484558 Would you mind elaborating more on how you install the board files manually? My vivado installation is failing to update the board info with error ERROR: [Common 17-1587] Failed to refresh catalog from github.com. Please check internet connection, git proxy settings and github.com site status. even though internet is working and I'm not using any proxy.

I have tried cloning the board store and adding it to ~/.Xilinx/Vivado/2025.2/xhub/board_store/xilinx_board_store/XilinxBoardStore/. The boards shows up in Vivado Store but when I try to create a new project, only a few boards are shown.

Hi, I'm not sure if this package is meant to be compatible with the vivado package. I just think that somebody here should mention that they are not compatible.

The vivado package uses the following path:

/opt/Xilinx/2025.2/Vivado/

but this package uses:

/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/${ver}/

To use this package, one can modify the paths in the package step. For example:

# THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE
# THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED
# I ended up installing board files manually
for vivado_dir in /opt/Xilinx/*/Vivado/; do
    ver=$(basename "$(dirname "$vivado_dir")")
    mkdir -p "$pkgdir/opt/Xilinx/${ver}/Vivado/data/boards/board_files"
    cp -r new/board_files "$pkgdir/opt/Xilinx/${ver}/Vivado/data/boards/"
done

Also note that to use these boards, one has to enable Artix-7 FPGAs in the install_config-vivado.txt file of the vivado package. I've enabled the following and it works:

Artix-7 FPGAs:1
Kintex-7 FPGAs:1
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC:1
