Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: Foundation Express API

Problem Title:
Foundation Express: Warning during synthesis: L0/C0 another process already started. Operation cancelled.



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Warnings about processes already running typically mean that a crash occured during that process which caused total reboot of the system. There is some *.lck file on the system that is not allowing the process to run again.

For FPGA/Foundation Express, the file may be in the s95_syn.tmp directory and
named s95_syn.lck. This file could also exist in a directory set by the TEMP variable.


Solution 1:

The following error has also occured in EXPRESS 3.1 via State Editor as well as the HDL editor.

User Break:   Another synthesis process allready started.   Opertation cancelled.

The same solution works for that problem as well.



Solution 2:

Delete this file and restart FPGA/Foundation Express.
