NGDBuild - ERROR:basla:106 - failed to launch program e, ERROR:basnb:48 - top leven input design file cannot be created


Record #4833

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: ngdbuild

Product Version: 1.5

Problem Title:
NGDBuild - ERROR:basla:106 - failed to launch program e, ERROR:basnb:48 - top leven input design file cannot be created



Problem Description:
Urgency:
Standard

After invoking the flow engine and running NGDBuild the following error
messages are generated:

error:basla:106-failed to launch program
error:basnb:48-top level input design file"proj_name.edn" cannot be found or
created. cannot find the proj_name.edn


Solution 1:

The most likely scenario is that the PATH variable has not been set correctly.

Under WIN95/NT the PATH variable for Foundation users should contain:

SET PATH = C:\FNDTN\BIN\NT;C:\other\paths

or for Alliance users

SET PATH = C:\XILINX\BIN\NT;C:\other\paths



Solution 2:

If an installation of any other software was performed, even software
completely separate from Xilinx, confirm the addition of any extra lines
to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Extra lines could cause a conflict with the
Xilinx software even if the PATH line remained unaffected.

In one case, the line SET MCC_INCLUDE = C:\MCC\H caused errors in
NGDbuild. Removal (or commenting out) this line permitted NGDbuild to
complete successfully.
