Description

When I attempt to recustomize or generate a core from the CORE Generator tool, I receive the following errors: 

"ERROR:coreutil - An internal error has occurred. To resolve this error, please consult the Answers Database at http://support.xilinx.com
 ERROR:coreutil - Failure to generate output products 
 ERROR:coreutil:424 - An error occurred while running Java. Please examine the console or coregen log file for a specific IP related error. 

For more information please search the Xilinx Answers Database for this error: http://www.xilinx.com/support
Finished Generating. 

ERROR:sim:57 - Error found during generation" 

Why is this happening?

Solution

This error occurs under the following conditions:

• The CORE Generator project is using a UNC path to point to a network location rather than using a mapped network drive (CORE Generator tool is not able to recognize the UNC pathname).
• The CORE Generator project is in the root directory level on a mapped drive.

To resolve the issue, map the drive where the project exists and use a project directory other than the root directory, and then regenerate the core.
