Hello,

What does this message (pleas, see screenshot below) mean ?

Indeed, there is no such file in the specified location, but Implementation & bitstream generation were run without errors.

Thanks.

Hi @pavel_47,

The *.ltx files are generated when you include the ILA  in your design. If you have ILA in your design then follow the below steps

1. Open the Synthesized or Netlist Design.
2. Run the write_debug_probes filename.ltx Tcl command.

if you don't have any ILAs in your design then run the below command and check once:

remove_files <file_name.ltx>

Best Regards,
Srikanth

Hi Savula,

Indeed, there is ILA in my design.

Unfortunately doesn't work

Here is screenshot after executing write_debug_probes command

Here are the strange issues:

1. The message INFO: [Chipscope 16-244]  says that there is no debug core in the design, but it isn't true - ILA does present in design
2. According to the line under [INFO] message (I removed private data at the beginning), the .ltx file is saved in AppData/Roaming/... folder, but not in design folder ... at least I understood the message in this way
3. I checked for the file in specified location (i.e. AppData....), but it isn't there.
4. After trying to reprogram device the error message reappears

I hurried up a little with my response: indeed liste of signals in the debug setup became empty for some unexplained raison.

So, I need to remake it.

Now it's ok.

The issue repeated but in the opposite sens: now there is no any LA in the design but tool still can't find .ltx file.

Moreover there is no more design_2 ... I deleted it.

I tried remove_files - doesn't work.

Well ... the option "Debug probes file" wasn't empty (it was kept since previous session). I cleared it and now it's Ok
