Problem Title:
F1.5, NGDBUILD: FATAL_ERROR:basnb:basnbctxt.c:140:1.14.1.2 - design 'ROOT' has invalid CAE_VENDOR property 'metamor'



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When running implementation of VHDL based design in M1.5
You may get this message during translate.

FATAL_ERROR:basnb:basnbctxt.c:140:1.14.1.2 - design 'ROOT' has
invalid CAE_VENDOR property 'metamor'


Solution 1:

The Metamor PM (personality module) is not included with the F1.5 software, since the Metamor XVHDL compiler was replaced with Express in F1.5. However, if the
VHDL macros are still synthesized with Metamor (Xilinx Solution 4468), then the Metamor PM will be required during Translate.

You may download the Metamor PM from the Xilinx File Download area at:

A Readme.txt file is included in the ZIP file with instructions on how to install it.
