Record #4117

Problem Title:
Mentor, pld_edif2tim: error line 2 illegal identifier "15 encountered
from synthesis



Problem Description:
Keywords: identifier, Mentor, pld, edif2tim, edif, time, sim

Urgency: Standard

General description:
When reading time_sim.edn file from pld_edif2tim in Mentor,
the following error appear:

Error line 2 illegal identifier "15 encountered from synthesis

This will happen if the customer is running M1 from PC and
porting the time_sim.edn to workstation.


Solution 1:

If the time_sim.edn is viewed in an editor on the Unix workstation
the file will still appear in dos format with the ^M at the end of
the lines, even though from the Mentor editor the file will appear
normal, (without the ^M).

1) Run dos2unix on the Unix workstation:

  dos2unix time_sim.edn > time_sim_new.edn

2) Re-run pld_edif2tim on the new time_sim_new.edn file.
