Problem Title:
Foundation Express: Cannot create chip in Synopsys project
Problem Description:
Urgency: standard
General Desciption: When trying to synthesize a design, in the Foundation Project Manager
console may report the following message:
Pcm: Cannot update chip in Synopsys project- Unknown error
Pcm: Cannot list chips from Synopsys project- Synopsys software
caused unexpected exception
Pcm: Cannot get file's status from Synopsys- Synopsys software
caused unexpected exception
Pcm: Cannot list libraries from Synopsys project- Synopsys software
caused unexpected exception
Solution 1:
The causes of these errors are similar to the "Abort" errors described in (Xilinx Solution 5308).
Typically the cause is either corrupt files or project, or specific HDL coding constructs. Follow
the suggestions in Solution 5308 to try to isolate the problem.
One known cause for the above error is due to 'generate' statements in VHDL.
The only resolution for this cause is to remove all generate statements from the code.
Another potential solution is described in (Xilinx Solution 6013).
