Alchitry Labs not working at all

[jm.sellier]

Hello,

I recently bought an Alchitry Au and I am planning to use Alchitry Labs to program it. Unfortunately, for reasons which I really can't understand, I cannot synthesis anything from this IDE. When I push the little hammer button, the IDE says "Starting Vivado..." but then it stays like this forever.

Let me provide more info below :

- I am using Vivado 2020.1 and it works perfectly with the Alchitry Au board,
- My java is updated to the latest version, i.e. 1.8.0_291-b10,
- The Alchitry Labs version is 1.2.6,
- Everything is installed on a regularly updated Windows 10 machine.

Any idea why I am not able to build anything from this IDE? Obviously, I will provide more information, if necessary, to whoever wants to help me.

Thanks!

This seems to be a fairly common issue but I haven't been able to replicate it myself.

Do you have anything noteworthy about your installation? Is everything on the C drive?

Luckily Tyrving solved this in another thread! Just install the latest version of Java SE (NOT "NORMAL" JAVA because that is only Java 8).

+1 !!  Installed Java SE 16 and Vivado (v2019.1) build reporting works in the AL (v1.2.7) IDE.  I'll try this with a newer version of Vivado as well.
