How to open XSVF file?
The most common problem when using Xilinx Serial Vector Format is that a specific XSVF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XSVF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XSVF 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. To do this, enter the name ISE Design Suite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XSVF with ISE Design Suite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XSVF files.
Programs to open XSVF file
Remember to download programs supporting XSVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with XSVF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XSVF 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. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 XSVF file with the ISE Design Suite program.
Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ISE Design Suite program with the Xilinx Serial Vector 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 XSVF 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 XSVF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XSVF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XSVF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XSVF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XSVF 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 XSVF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Xilinx help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XSVF 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XSVF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XSVF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
