xilinxget

CLI tool to automate the process of downloading tools from the AMD Xilinx website, without the need of a GUI. The script takes care of finding a specific tool/version, signing in, filling necessary information and saving the files locally.

Prerequisites

This was tested on Ubuntu 20.04, using Python 3.10.5

To setup the environment, first update your packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Install Google Chrome:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -y ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Install Xvfb for virtual display:

sudo apt install xvfb

If you have uv installed, simply skip to Usage section since uv will create a virtual env and install python dependencies for you on the first run.

Otherwise, install the following python dependencies with your package manager. A virtual env is recommended:

• pyvirtualdisplay
• selenium
• undetected-chromedriver

Usage

Once the prerequisites are installed, you can run the script to choose and download a specific version of a tool.

Command-line Usage

You can simply run the script from a terminal to choose from all available tools and versions.

Using uv:

uv run xilinxget

Or using the virtual environment:

xilinxget

You can pass more options for an advanced usage. Please check using "-h" option for further details:

xilinxget -h

For example, you can list all available tools and their versions, then pick a specific tool/version to download directly without the verbose list of all downloads:

xilinxget --list
xilinxget --tool Vivado --version "Vivado Archive 2020.3"
