Record #6013
Product Family: Software
Product Line: Synopsys
Product Part: FPGA Express
Product Version: 3.1
Problem Title:
FPGA Express: Verilog keyword "tri" causes Express to crash (Cannot create chip in Synopsys
project) (Abort at 470)
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Desciption: When analyzing a Verilog design in Foundation Express 2.1i, the
following message may occur:
Pcm: Cannot analyze file in Synopsys project- Unknown error
Pcm: Cannot get file's status from Synopsys- Synopsys software caused unexpected exception
Pcm: Cannot get information count- Synopsys software caused unexpected exception
A second error possibility is "Abort at 470".
Solution 1:
If the code contains the keyword "tri", replace each instance with "wire".
This replacement makes no difference in synthesis and does not cause the FPGA Express
tools to crash.
