Vivado license issue on FPGA Developer AMI

Yes, the FPGA Developer AMI does include Xilinx Vivado with a free license specifically for use on EC2 instances for F1/F2 FPGA development. The license is included at no additional software charge as part of the AMI.

Based on your issue, it appears you may have launched a different AMI or there might be a configuration problem. The FPGA Developer AMI comes with Vivado pre-installed and pre-configured with the necessary licensing for development work on F1/F2 instances.

The FPGA Developer AMI includes a complete tool development environment with scripts and tools for simulating your FPGA design, building and registering your Amazon FPGA Image (AFI), as well as tools for debugging and compiling your code.

If you're trying to install a new version of Vivado (2024.1) on top of the existing environment, this could be causing licensing conflicts. I would recommend using the version of Vivado that comes pre-installed with the FPGA Developer AMI, as it's already properly licensed for use on AWS.

To verify you're using the correct AMI, double-check that you specifically selected the "FPGA Developer AMI" when launching your instance. There's also a newer version of this AMI available for the second-generation F2 instances that were recently released.
