How to open SYR file?

An often recurring problem with Xilinx XST Synthesis Report Format is that SYR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SYR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SYR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install ISE Design Suite

The first step is to check if the computer has the ISE Design Suite program installed. This can be achieved by typing ISE Design Suite into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SYR files.

Programs to open SYR file

Remember to download programs supporting SYR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with SYR files

If, despite the installed application, the SYR file does not start in the ISE Design Suite application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ISE Design Suite application as the default for handling the SYR file.

Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ISE Design Suite program with the Xilinx XST Synthesis Report Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Xilinx, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SYR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SYR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SYR file. Sometimes virus-infected SYR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SYR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SYR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SYR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SYR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SYR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SYR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
