ISE13.1 (ngdbuild.exe) crashes

alexsvet · ‎08-05-2008

Hello,

I gave new version ISE 13.1 a shot.But was shortly faced with a consistent crash.

I generated a ML410 example project via BSB, imported xmp and ucf file to Project Navigator and started the compile. Synthesis completes successfully, but shortly in Translate phase, ngdbuild.exe consistently crashes. The only indication of the crash is standard Windows dialog. The last thing in console log are the warnings below.

I am running ISE13.1 on WinXP SP3.

Have you tried more than 1 design?

Does this happen on all designs?

Perhaps you could try an example design?

If this occurs consistently, then please try uninstall and re-install 13.1 if you have not already. If this occurs for this design only then please open a webcase at http://www.xilinx.com/support/clearexpress/websupport.htm

Based on the warning messages that were being printed just before the failure, it appears to be a problem with constraint error handling. As a test, try rerunning with no constraints file.

@ambrosef, basically I tried running 2 examples. But both included PowerPC and EDK subdesign.

@bwade. The constraint file was generated by BSB in EDK, it should be OK, I guess.

And I really can not afford to implement my design without constraints file...

I am targeting Virtex4FX.

My suggestion was to test the theory that constraints are causing your crash by removing them temporarily.

Did I understand you correctly that you suggested to not include the ucf file in /data folder?

I did that (actually I deleted the content of that file) and that resulted in the following error log:

As stated before, I am just trying to give 13.1 a test drive with BSB-generated hardware (ppc, ddr, ddr2, uart, gpio and ethernet).
