Missing files in USRP2 ISE project

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to open the ISE project in gnuradio/usrp2/fpga/top/u2_fpga
and it
seems some files are missing.

I’m using ISE 9.1i and it first converts the project to version 9.1 and
then
I got the annexed error.

It’s just a relative addressing versus absolute addressing problem
with the files.

It should be fixed, but it isn’t a deal breaker. Those files exist,
just not in the place where the Xilinx tool is looking for them.

Yeah, I know, and I also looked for the files in gnuradio/usrp2/ and
found
some of them (strobe_gen.v and extram_interface.v) in another places.
But
u2_basic.v and fifo_…v seems to be realy missing. I couldn’t find them
anywhere on the trunk (rev 10991).

Thanks

Don’t use u2_fpga. Use u2_rev3, which will compile fine.

I believe ISE 9.1 has some bugs which affect our design. You’ll want to
upgrade to 10.1.03. I haven’t tried the new 11.1 yet.

I tried the makefile in u2_rev3 but got some erros:

I’ve found some info about this erros on
http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/29765.htm , but I wasn’t able to
make
it work. So I tried the hard way. I created a project and manualy
configured it acording to the makefile.

There was also another error in the implementation step when I tried to
build the code:

ERROR:NgdBuild:789 -
“/export/tiago/TCC/implementacao/usrp2/fpga/top/u2_rev3/u2_rev3.ucf”
Line
326: ‘CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE’ is an invalid constraint name.

Commenting that constraint solves the problem and the project builds
fine. I
uploaded the bitstream to the usrp2 and it seems to be OK.

Are these the errors related to the bugs in ISE 9.1 that you talked
about?
Is there some consequence in removing the ‘CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE’
constraint?

Anyway, I’ll try to get a more recent version of ISE.

Thanks

I’m not sure why this isn’t working for you. Are all the xilinx
programs in your path?

Yes, that is one of the 9.1 errors.
