Xilinx ISE GUI vs tcl script problem

[nmatringe@gmail.com]

Hello
I've used tcl scripts for quite a long time now and been very happy until yesterday when suddenly the script interpreter started picking the wrong top level unit.
So I have a perfectly compiling design in the GUI, I generate a tcl script and when I run it (xtclsh myscript.tcl) it stops with an error message, and when I look at the log I can see it has used "blkmem.xco" as top level unit.
Does anyone know what's going on in there ?

Thanks
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

difficult to say.
So you are using the TCL script generated by ISE-PN?
Have you chosen the version withall properties in it?
Have you called it with the correct option (e.g. rebuild_project).
What was the top level unit at the time of script generation.

Maybe you just look in the script for the line that sets the top level unit.
If it is wrong, just edit it and put in the correct design unit.

Have a nice synthesis
Eilert

Thanks

Nicolas

Is it possible that you had "blkmem.xco" selected in the hierarchy view
at the time you generated the script? I know a lot of the commands are
sensitive to the current selection.
