What is ISC file?
The file with the extension ISC is the Developer Files file type. The author of this format is Xilinx. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Xilinx Device Configuration Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Windows. It is recommended to use ISE Design Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Xilinx, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open ISC file?
The most common problem when using Xilinx Device Configuration Format is that a specific ISC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ISC, 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 ISC 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ISC files.
Programs to open ISC file
Remember to download programs supporting ISC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with ISC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISC file to open in the ISE Design Suite application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ISC file with the ISE Design Suite program.
Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ISE Design Suite program, it is possible that Xilinx Device Configuration Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Xilinx, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ISC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ISC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ISC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ISC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ISC 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ISC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Xilinx
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ISC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ISC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ISC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
