Synopsys FPGA Compiler: Error code "VE-0" from analyze command in
dc_shell



Problem Description:
Keywords: analyze, synopsys, dc_shell
Urgency: standard
General description:
When a source design file is prepared on a PC (using a PC-based text editor) or
is detached from an email message on a PC-based email system, the file contains
carriage-return characters that are incompatible with the Synopsys parser. If yo
u try to analyze the file using dc_shell on a UNIX workstation, the analyze comm
and produces the following error, typically referencing line 1:

This occurs on FPGA Compiler and Design Compiler.


Solution 1:

Convert the file using the dos2unix command before running the analyze command.
