Keywords: xtclsh, GUI, registry, path, script, Precision, Model Tech
When I attempt to set Project options to use Synplify Pro through a Tcl script, it fails with the following error:
> Project set {Synthesis Tool} {Synplify Pro (VHDL/Verilog)}
ERROR:TclTasksC:project_028: Unknown property value "Synplify Pro (VHDL/Verilog)"
Solution
This error occurs on Windows platforms if the following registry key is not set:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xilinx\ISE\11.1\Project Navigator\Project Manager\Preferences\SynplifyProExePathUserVal
To set the registry setting, open the Project Navigator GUI and select Edit -> Preferences -> ISE General -> Integrated Tools, and browse to enter the executable path of the desired synthesis tool.
Alternatively, you could enter the value using the "regedit" Windows registry editor.
Similar registry preferences are needed to use other third-party tools:
Model Tech Simulator: ModelSimExePathUserVal
Synplify Synthesis: SynplifyExePathUserVal
Precision Synthesis: PrecisionExePathUserVal
