Could some Xilinx ISE guru provide some hints for my problem ? I am trying to synthesize a simple 4K RAM block with Xilinx ISE. About half- way through execution, I get an error message, inside a Visual Studio dialog box, stating that xst.exe ( the Xilinx synthesis executable) has encountered a problem and would I like to debug ? The Xilinx ISE is running on a XP machine. Any hints, suggestions would be of immense help.

You might could try upgrading to the latest version, 11.4. There's a chance it'll fix your problem. Then again, there's a chance that it will create a new, unrelated problem, too. But at least if the problem is moving around you can claim you've got movement on the problem. Xilinx tells me that 12.1 will be better, come April. Now if only all _my_ customers were willing to sit around and wait for two extra months. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology Email address is currently out of order

Thus began my life as a tool fighter rather than a logic designer. -- Rob Gaddi, Highland Technology Email address is currently out of order
