X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

Hi there,

Every time I try to synthesize for the Spartan-2 in X_linx ISE 6.1i I get this message:

"FATAL_ERROR:DeviceResourceModel:basnpdevice.c:620:1.23 - bad nph file Process will terminate. To resolve this error, please consult the Answers Database and other online resources at http://support.xilinx.com. If you need further assistance, please open a Webcase by clicking on the "WebCase" link at http://support.xilinx.com
ERROR: XST failed"

It does synthesize for other chips, depending on the chip. Funniest thing, this is what I get on X_linx' site (solution record) for this error:

"Sorry, we haven't documented that issue yet."

Does anyone know what this is all about and/or how to fix it?
Thanks, dingo

Sorry to sound negative here, but don't you know....

ALWAYS wait for the first service pack..... (epecially M$ and most of the time x$l$nx)

Hi robotman,

Yes, you are right, I didn't specify. This error is generated with
or without SP1:

**broken link removed**

Thanks, dingo.
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

Have you got access to 5.2i,SP3? If so, give it a try.
If still fails review the warnings and correct your errors.

I have heard that 6.1i is still a bit buggy, no idea with SP1 though.

Regards,

try synpilfy
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

I have to agree with AndrewC - my somwhat limited experience with XST is that it's a piece of junk. If you access to another synthesiser I would suggest giving that a go...
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

Hi guys,

Thanks for the answers. Inside ISE 6.1i, I switched the synthesizer to
Leonardo and it will synthesize OK, but the error now happens when
ISE tries to implement:

"
Started process "Map".

Using target part "2s100tq144-6".
FATAL_ERROR:DeviceResourceModel:basnpdevice.c:620:1.23 - bad nph file Process
will terminate. To resolve this error, please consult the Answers Database
and other online resources at http://support.xilinx.com. If you need further
assistance, please open a Webcase by clicking on the "WebCase" link at
http://support.xilinx.com
ERROR: MAP failed
Process "Map" did not complete.
"

I was using 5.2i SP3 and it was working fine.

Sigh... dingo
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

I guess you must tried to archive an unrealistic primitive element, would you like to show you source code?
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

ch_wen,

Here is an example of a VHDL code that generates the error
on my machine. Any ideas? Thanks, dingo.



library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity test is
port(
dat_i : in std_logic;
dat_o : out std_logic
);
end test;

architecture arch of test is
begin
dat_o <= dat_i;
end arch;
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

Dingo -

that example code completely implements, routes and places here with no errors or warnings. Maybe you have some constraints causing the problem. One difference here is that I have an environment variable set to stop an error that was happening on a different project :

Section 3 - Informational
-------------------------
INFO:MapLib:564 - The following environment variables are currently set:
INFO:MapLib:591 - XIL_MAP_SKIP_LOGICAL_DRC Value: 1

Xilinx seemed happy to reccommend setting that so maybe give it a try?

Git,
I have no constraints, I just created a new project with only this
file. Let me just ask you two questions:

- Are you synthesizing/implementing for the 2s100tq144-5 ?
- How do you set the environment variable? Do you do this as in:

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> New ->

then:

Variable name: XIL_MAP_SKIP_LOGICAL_DRC
Variable value: 1

??

Thanks, dingo.
 

Re: X_linx ISE 6.1i Problem

Yes, XC2s100tq144-5, and the method you describe for setting the env variable is exactly right. You'll need to exit and restart Project Manager for the new Env to be seen.
