The COE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the COE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the COE file on each system platform.
What is COE file?
The file in the COE format belongs to the Misc Files category. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Xilinx BRAM Initialization is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is ISE Design Suite. This was created by Xilinx, Inc..
How to open COE file?
The most common problem when using Xilinx BRAM Initialization is that a specific COE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that COE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COE 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ISE Design Suite is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ISE Design Suite in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support COE files.
Programs to open COE file
Remember to download programs supporting COE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with COE files
If, despite the installed application, the COE file does not start in the ISE Design Suite application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the COE file with the ISE Design Suite application.
Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ISE Design Suite program with the Xilinx BRAM Initialization file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Xilinx, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to COE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our COE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover COE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of COE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair COE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file COE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the COE file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
