Spartan 6 IBERT confusion

Guest
If I use the core generator to generate an IBERT for a Spartan 6 and try to implement the example design the errors I'm getting I'm not understanding. I'm assuming I'm not understanding the back box portion of the example design. Module S6chipscope_ibert.v is in the project. Thanks in advance... Here are the errors, followed by the example design:

ERROR:NgdBuild:604 - logical block 'U_S6CHIPSCOPE_IBERT' with type
'S6chipscope_ibert' could not be resolved. A pin name misspelling can cause
this, a missing edif or ngc file, case mismatch between the block name and
the edif or ngc file name, or the misspelling of a type name. Symbol
'S6chipscope_ibert' is not supported in target 'spartan6'.
ERROR:NgdBuild:604 - logical block 'U_ICON' with type 'chipscope_icon' could not
be resolved. A pin name misspelling can cause this, a missing edif or ngc
file, case mismatch between the block name and the edif or ngc file name, or
the misspelling of a type name. Symbol 'chipscope_icon' is not supported in
target 'spartan6'.

Do you have the .ngc file for the ibert module in the project directory?
It contains the actual module guts.

Good Luck,

Yes, I've tried the ngc file(s) with no luck.

Yes, I've tried the ngc file(s) with no luck.
It really sounds like the .ngc files are not where they can be found by
the tool. The .v file is only a wrapper/prototype for the contents in
the .ngc file. Is the .ngc file for the ibert in the project top level
directory (where the log files and .pcf file wind up) and the .ngc name
matches the one instantiated in your RTL file? I think that there is a
place in the project properties page where you can explicitly tell it
where to find the .ngc files.
Another possibility would be if you added the .v file to the project
after the project was defined, did it go into the same library as the
rest of your RTL? If you look in the files window on ISE and scroll to
the right, past the end of the file names, it will tell you which
library a file went into. I spent 3 days fighting an issue like this,
only to find that the file went into a different library and did not get
included in the synthesis.

Good Luck,
BobH
