9.2i ISE - Generating specific IP cores through Project -> New Source results in error: "ERROR:ProjectMgmt - TOE: ITclInterp::ExecuteCmd gave Tcl result 'invalid command name "::<core_name>_xmdf::xmdfInit"'
Description
Keywords: Tcl, TOE, RocketIO GTP, gigabit, ethernet, mac, IP, core, ejava, SATA, Xaui
The RocketIO GTP WizardGTP v1.5 and Gigabit Ethernet Mac v8.2 fail when generated in Project Navigator with the following Tcl error:
"ERROR:ProjectMgmt - TOE: ITclInterp::ExecuteCmd gave Tcl result 'invalid command name "::Rocket_xmdf::xmdfInit"'.
Tcl_ErrnoId: ENOENT
Tcl_ErrnoMsg: no such file or directory

For the Gigabit Ethernet Mac Core, replace "Rocket" with "Gig_Eth_Mac" in the above error. This is not reproducible for CORE Generator in standalone mode.
Solution
The general issue causing this error has been fixed in the latest 9.2i Service Pack available at:http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_sw_updates_home.jsp
The first service pack containing the fix is 9.2i Service Pack 1.
There have been a few instances of this error reported in ISE 9.2.01i and later when using specific settings of the GTP RocketIO core. Specifically, the error was reported using XAUI or SATA default settings.
To avoid this problem, open CORE Generator standalone to generate the desired core.
