Answers Database XBLXGS 5.x: possible cause of error "Bad status 79500182 from ddp_perform_check" Record #557 Product Family: Software Product Line: Mentor Product Part: xblxgs Problem Title: XBLXGS 5.x: possible cause of error "Bad status 79500182 from ddp_perform_check" Problem Description: Urgency: Standard General Description: An XBLOX design fails in XBLXGS when Fncsim8 is run with the -o option, but works O.K. when fncsim8 is run with the -g option. When the design is run as fncsim8 <design> -o the fncsim8.log file lists the following:     Making new bus_if09 symbol now...     Copying graphics now...     Copying instances now...     Copying nets now...     XBLXGS: ERROR: Bad status 79500182 from ddp_perform_check. The problem is caused because the symbol ended up with obsolete pin names. How this happened is still a mystery (Mar. 31, 1995). The new Unified symbol contains the pin names X and B(8:0), but not MENTOR_BUS and XBLOX_BUS. Solution 1: Fncsim8 -o fails in XBLXGS on an XBLOX design with ddp_perform_check error ERROR MESSAGE: XBLXGS ERROR: Bad status 79500182 from ddp_perform_check. LONG DESCRIPTION: PROBLEM: If you get an XBLXGS ddp_perform_check error, check if you have BUS_IFxx symbols (where xx is a number) in your design. If so, check the pin names. If the pin names are MENTOR_BUS and XBLOX_BUS, do an "Update -> Instance" on all BUS_IFXX symbols. This will correct the problem. If you do not have BUS_IFxx symbols, then something else is wrong.
