How to open XCO file?

The most common problem when using Xilinx CORE Generator Log is that a specific XCO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XCO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XCO 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 Xilinx CORE Generator System

In this case, you should first verify that the Xilinx CORE Generator System application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Xilinx CORE Generator System into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XCO files.

Programs to open XCO file

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

Step 2. Create association of Xilinx CORE Generator System with XCO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XCO file still does not use the Xilinx CORE Generator System program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XCO file with the Xilinx CORE Generator System program.

Step 3. Update Xilinx CORE Generator System to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Xilinx CORE Generator System program with the Xilinx CORE Generator Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Xilinx, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The XCO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XCO 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XCO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XCO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XCO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XCO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Xilinx, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XCO 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XCO file to another location will fix the problem.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file XCO to close. However, some background programs may block the XCO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
