Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the base installation directory where you extracted the patch.

If you apply the patch to a base version (e.g., 2021.1) and later install a minor update (e.g., 2021.1.1), you do not need to re-apply the patch.

Once the script finishes executing without errors, the patch is installed. You can verify it by launching Vivado. The "License Manager" or the startup splash screen should appear without date errors.

If the patch is successful, the export_ip command should no longer return an "Invalid Argument" error.

Obtain the y2k22_patch-1.2.zip file from the official AMD-Xilinx Support Article.

Open a terminal and run (may require sudo depending on permissions): python3 y2k22_patch/patch.py 4. Verification

To avoid dependency issues, it is recommended to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the Python library folder within your specific Vivado version before running the script. For example:

: Disable internet time sync, set date manually to Dec 2021, launch Vivado, then re-enable.
