2.1i Design Compiler - Typo in template .synopsys_dc.setup file (PARSE-1)


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When using the template.synopsys_dc.setup_dc file in $XILINX/synopsys/examples to set up your Synopsys Design Compiler environment, you may encounter the following error:

ERROR: .synopsys_dc.setup: syntax error on line 55 at or near 'instance_number pad_location part'. (PARSE-1)


Solution 1:

This is due to a typo in the template file. Find the text that looks like this:

edifout_write_properties_list = {"instance_number" "pad_location" "part"
"INIT"}"instance_number pad_location part"

and remove everything after the closing curly bracket:

edifout_write_properties_list = {"instance_number" "pad_location" "part" "INIT"}
