What is a .XISE file?
The ".XISE" file extension is a type of file known as a Xilinx ISE Project File. It is created by a program called ISE, which stands for Integrated Software Environment. ISE is a special software used by people who design computer hardware, specifically for creating electronics devices. When someone is working on a project in ISE, the program saves all the important information about the project in a file with the ".xise" extension. This file includes a list of all the different source files (like the building blocks or ingredients) that are being used in the project. It also saves the settings or properties of the project and which version of the ISE software the project is being created with. One of the main uses of this type of file is in the design of FPGA, which stands for Field-programmable Gate Array. FPGA is a kind of technology that lets you program or configure a piece of hardware even after it has been made.
To open a file with the ".xise" extension, you need to use the Xilinx ISE Design Suite. This is the specific program that understands how to read and work with these project files. It's important to note that the ".xise" extension started being used with version 11 of the ISE software. If you come across older projects, you might see different extensions like ".ISE" for projects made with versions 7 through 10 of the software, and ".NPL" for projects from ISE versions 5 and 6. Each of these extensions corresponds to different versions of the ISE software and indicates how the project files were saved and structured in those versions.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .XISE file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
