Netplan is the network configuration abstraction renderer utility for a linux system. In order to name the interfaces based on their MAC addresses edit the following configuration file: /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml and apply changes sudo netplan apply (might require system reboot). Follow the 01-network-manager-all.yaml configuration example below and make the necessary changes based on your MAC addresses.

# netplan apply
# reboot
To disable the daemon edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and change the following:
use-ipv4=no
use-ipv6=no
then run the following command to restart the service:
[user@nf-test109]# sudo service avahi-daemon restart
To temporary disable IPv6 run the following command:
[user@nf-test109]# sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
or please append this lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
Reboot.
If it didn't work on your environment, please add 'ipv6.disable=1' on grub configuration file. On /etd/defualt/grub, you can edit it.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 intel_iommu=on ipv6.disable=1"
Then, update the grub file.
# update-grub2
Reboot.
# apt install vim git ssh make libc-dev gcc python3-pip libpcap-dev libnet1-dev
Please install scapy for python3.
# pip3 install scapy scapy-python3
Once you setup network configuration and verified to access the Internet, then you can get Vivado installation image from Xilinx page. Please download Vivado 2020.2
To download a bitstream file synthesized in Vivado, you need to install USB driver.
# cd /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/
# ./install_drivers
Add these lines to file /etc/bash.bashrc
source /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/setting64.sh
export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=12345@license.abc.xyz
(Vivado path and license are as an example only)
