Error while running implementation through unix command line

[gaurav3110]

Hello,



I am new to Xilinx and bash scripting. I am using Xilinx 13.4. I am tryin
to run implementation(ngdbuild, map, par etc) to create the bit fil
through a bash script, but I am getting an error. Following is the snippe
of my error :-



Running synthesis...

bash -c "cd synthesis; ./synthesis.sh"
xst -ifn system_xst.scr -intstyle silent
Running XST synthesis ...
PMSPEC -- Overriding Xilinx file
</tools/Xilinx/13.4/ISE_DS/EDK/virtex5/data/virtex5.acd> with local file
</tools/Xilinx/13.4/ISE_DS/ISE/virtex5/data/virtex5.acd>
XST completed
error status of previous command:0
=> Starting xst: Xst log file is: no_file.syr
Using xst file - no_file.xst



ERROR:Xst:427 - Entry File no_file.xst not found



Can I get some help on this?



Thanks,

Gaurav.

Yeah, it's looking for some reason for an XST script file called
no_file.xst, and can't find it. The problem is probably in your
system_xst.scr file (which I wouldn't swear up and down is allowed to
have an extension other than .xst)

I use a Makefile scripted flow for all my Xilinx projects. On the
most recent one I'm working on, my command line call is:
xst -ifn top_level_gen.xst -ofn 28C940A-xst.log

And this is my top_level_gen.xst:
set -xsthdpdir ./_xst
set -tmpdir ./_xst/tmp

-glob_opt allclocknets

Hi Rob,

I am working on my assignment which is to use scripting to invoke all the xilinx tools such as synthesis,Translate,map,Par and bitgen.I am using makefile for my assignment.I have a problem running this command in the terminal.

xst -ifn filename.xst -ofn filename.syr

The error in the terminal reads like this:

make: execvp : xst ermission denied.
Please help me on this as i am new to xilinx.Thanks,

It sounds like you're having permission problems with the actual
executable. When you say you're running that command in the terminal,
are you actually running it straight from a command prompt, or are you
running it through your makefile?

Also, are you on Windows or Linux?

You need to get things to where when you type just xst at the command
prompt, you get into the XST program's extremely unuseful shell
interface. If you can do that, you should be able to run it from a
makefile as well; until you can there's no reason to be bothering with
the scripts.

Sorry for not giving the complete details.I am using linux. Here is what i did

I have created my makefile taking a project from one of the previous assignments.
1.I created a directory which has my makefile .
2.I copied my *.v and *.xst files from one of the assignments to that directory.
3.Opened the directory which has my makefile in the terminal and typed "make".

The error message displayed in my terminal when i run the above command is
make:execvp:xst: permission denied
make : **** [filename.ngc] error 127.Please let me know what i got to do

As I said, the first thing you need to do is figure out if you have
execute permissions on xst at all. Just type 'xst' at the command
prompt and see what you get; I'm betting you can't run it at all.

I'm guessing you're at a university. If I'm right, and I'm right
that you can't run xst, then what you need to do is contact your system
administrator and find out why you can't. Most likely it's locked down
to some group that you need to be made a member of.

Or when you type xst, you'll find that Linux can't find your executable
at all; it's not on your PATH. In that case you need to get your PATH
configured correctly, there's a file in the Xilinx install that'll be
called something like settings32.csh that can help you.

Yeah.When i just run xst in command prompt it says permission denied.And yes,i am doing my maters.I will ask about this with my system administrator.Is this the reason that i am not able to run the commands like ngdbuild,map,par,bitgen.
It says command not found for all these commands
