Xilinx Device Configuration Information Format | Xilinx | Developer Files |
The ISC file extension is used for Xilinx Device Configuration Files. This type of file is typically used for programming Xilinx FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips. The ISC file is written in Xilinx proprietary format, and it contains instructions for Loading configuration data into the on-board memory of an FPGA chip. The instructions inside the ISC file are written in a special-purpose language that can be understood by the Xilinx Impact software, which is used for programming the FPGA.
Use Cases For ISC File
The ISC files are used primarily by embedded systems designers and hardware experts who need to configure ASICs (Application Specified Integrated Circuits) and FPGAs. It is also regularly used when designing embedded boards, specific electronic modules, and custom I/O systems. Because of its capabilities, ISC files can also be used in other industries as well, such as aerospace and automotive markets.
Related File Extensions
Other related file extensions include .ACF, .MCS, .TDI, .RAM, and .PPR. All these types of files are associated with Xilinx FPGA programming, either from Xilinx tools or internally developed programs.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ISC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ISC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ISC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ISC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ISC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ISC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ISC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ISC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ISC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ISC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
