Design Manager M1: Fails to start (hangs/core dumps/segmentation faults) on UNIX machinesRecord #1997
Product Family: Software 23531 ? 0:00 windu_cl 23560 ? 0:00 windu_re # Note - Use the -e switch with Solaris and HPUX versions of ps. Use -x with the SunOS4 version. 3. Kill all listed process IDs for windu (must have ownership of the processes or root priveleges): kill -9 23531 23560 4. Verify Processes are "killed": ps -e | grep windu 5. Remove the .dsgmgr.ini file and .windu directory, and make a backup copy of .WindU file: rm -r ~/.windu ~/.dsgnmgr.ini 6. Now invoke Design Manager dsgnmgr & or xilinx & (M1.5 or greater) Solution 3: If all else fails and the Design Manager still does not operate, it has sometimes been seen that rebooting the system fixes some problems with invoking Design Manager. A temporary workaround can be to run the tools from the command line. A new program called XFLOW is now available in the 2.1i Software Release to make this easier for you. Please reference (Xilinx Solution 6694) for info on how to use this command line tool. For those using 1.5i Software or older, you may download the XGEN utility to automate this process: (Xilinx File ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/utilities/M1_workstation/xgen.tar.Z) Solution 4: For M1.5 only: If the warnings/errors relate to windu_registryd and/or updating the registry information, please reference (Xilinx Solution 4024) End of Record #1997 - Last Modified: 12/17/99 12:38 |
