ISIM suddenly stop working

I am using the WEB based free tools.

 

I have been simulating for the last two days just fine.

 

Mid-day today - I bring up the simulator and it will not let me restart the simulation, change end-point time - nothing.

 

The following is showing on the console window - don't know if it gives any clue - but prior to this - I never had a message about the default WCFG file.

 

Any comments would be very helpful.

 

Thanks.

 

Joe

Re: ISIM suddenly stop working

 

I found it has something to do with the Signal "ClockIn" frequency.

 

if I use :

 

initial begin
 
          ClockIn = 0;
        forever ClockIn = #(10 / 2) ~ ClockIn;
    end

  initial begin

 

it works!.

 

initial begin
 
          ClockIn = 0;
        forever ClockIn = #(50 / 2) ~ ClockIn;
    end

  initial begin

 

it fails.

 

My clock is not fast - around 2mhz so I don't want to use a super fast one in simulation.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Re: ISIM suddenly stop working

hi,

     from your first post it seems that the lifetime  of the evaluation ISIM is over or you can also browse for the license once again by refreshing it, if it does not work then you have to check out with the full version of ISE design suite. Its not your logical fault...seems so...
