Vivado 2016.4 not automatically creating .mmi file

[wdecook]

I am attempting to migrate a Vivado project from 2015.2 to 2016.4. After finally getting the project to build, I export hardware (including bitstream) and open SDK. From SDK (and from the .sdk directory), I can see that there is no .mmi file. Previously, in 2015.2, this file was being created automatically. Is there an option for this? What is missing?

More info:

-After doing File->Export->Export Hardware from Vivado, a .sdk directory is created within project directory. The .sdk directory now has toplevel.hdf and nothing else.

-After doing File->Launch SDK from Vivado, the .sdk directory looks like this:

  .metadata/ (contents not shown here for brevity)

  RemoteSystemsTempFiles/

      .project

  toplevel_hw_platform_0/

     .project

      system.hdf

      toplevel.bit

  SDK.log

  toplevel.hdf

This issue has been resolved. I tracked the problem down to the LMB BRAM Controller IP in the Microblaze local memory sub-block of my block diagram. The LMB BRAM High Address didn't automatically update after changing the address range in the address editor. 

To fix this, I changed the address range back and forth, disconnected/reconnected some nets in the local memory sub-block and eventually the address field updated. After rebuilding and exporting hardware, SDK now makes the .mmi file.

And, apparently, Validate Design would have fixed this.
