I am using clear installations of Ubuntu 14.10 x64 and Vivado Design Suite 2014.4 with update 1. Vivado runs, but Vivado HLS crashes on start without any error.

I have tried source settings64.sh from vivado and run then by command vivado_hls but same thing happens. Does anyone met same issue?

After a while I found out that there is error ( I have removed last line in "/Xilinx/Vivado_HLS/2014.4/bin/vivado_hls" file and ran it as root and error file appeared ). The error was SIGSEGV in main thread.

Current thread (0x00007f4f1800a800):  JavaThread "main" [_thread_in_native, id=26933, stack(0x00007f4f207d8000,0x00007f4f208d9000)]

siginfo:si_signo=SIGSEGV: si_errno=0, si_code=1 (SEGV_MAPERR), si_addr=0x00000000000018f0

I found a solution ( Xilinx forum ) I just add export SWT_GTK3=0 at the top of vivado_hls file.

  • After running vivado hls as a root don't forget chown vivado files in your home and in /opt/Xilinx `sudo chown your_username /opt/Xilinx/ -R sudo chown your_username /home/your_username/.vivado_hls -R` – Nic30g Apr 17 '15 at 11:36
  • Same problem in Vivado HLS 2015.2 and Ubuntu 15.04, just use settings64.sh file from Vivado folder – Nic30g Jul 24 '15 at 11:51
  • Thanks, this also worked for Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome with Vivado 2015.2 – dgreene Jan 26 '18 at 17:59
