Copy the new rdiArgs.bat file to C:\Xilinx\14.Xilinx. You should now have a file named rdiArgs.bat Open C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\PlanAhead\bin and rename rdiArgs.bat to. To fix it, we have to force PlanAhead to always run in 32-bit mode. for I/O Pin Planning), it just displays the splash screen but never opens. Rename libPortabilityNOSH.dll to libPortability.dllįixing PlanAhead not opening from 64-bit Project Navigator PlanAhead will not open when you are running 64-bit Project Navigator (e.g. In C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\common\lib\nt64 Find and rename libPortability.dll to.
