M1.5 LCA2NCD: Error: baslc 30:can't load LCA: bad design record (part_number)


Record #4614

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: lca2ncd

Product Version: 1.5

Problem Title:
M1.5 LCA2NCD: Error: baslc 30:can't load LCA: bad design record (part_number)


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Upon running the lca2ncd executable from the command
prompt (lca2ncd <file_name>.lca <file_name>.ncd), the following error is
encountered:

Error: baslc 30:can't load LCA: bad design record (part_number)

For certain users, this error occurs in M1.5 but does not occur in M1.4.


Solution 1:

Ensure that the relevant device family is installed in M1.5.

The installation default settings have changed for certain device
families between M1.4 and M1.5, and therefore if that family is not
installed, the lca2ncd executable cannot access the particular part
and thus returns a bad design record. Examples of families affected
include the XC3000A, XC3100A, and XC5200.

The lca2ncd executable itself has not been changed from M1.4 to M1.5.
