What is JED file?
The file in the JED format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Xilinx. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Xilinx JEDEC Programming Format is supported by 2 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is ISE Design Suite. This was created by Xilinx, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs.
How to open JED file?
The most common problem when using Xilinx JEDEC Programming Format is that a specific JED is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that JED 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 JED 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
In this case, you should first verify that the ISE Design Suite application 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 JED files.
Programs to open JED file
Remember to download programs supporting JED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with JED files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JED file still does not use the ISE Design Suite program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JED file with the ISE Design Suite application.
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 JEDEC Programming 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 JED file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The JED file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JED file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JED or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected JED file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JED file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JED files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Xilinx help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JED 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move JED to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JED file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JED file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
