AR# 33416 11.2 NetGen - NetGen assigns incorrect value to SIM_DEVICE attribute causing simulation failure

Keywords: ModelSim, String, Literal, regression, netgen, icorrect, incorrect, netlist, SIM_DEVICE, Windows, 11.2, unrecognizable, character, IUS, NCSIM

When I run simulation with NetGen-generated netlist, I recieve the following error. Why?

ISim

ERROR:HDLCompiler:305 - "Filename" Line %s: Character with value 0x1 is not a graphic literal character

ModelSim

# ** Error: <Filename>(%line number): String literal has a character with value 0x1 not in the enumeration type std.standard.character.

IUS

ncvhdl_p: *E,UNKCHR (/%filename%,52354|24): unrecognizable character 'SOH' [13.2].
SIM_DEVICE => "j<_EX5",

VCS

Error: analysis Parsing vhdl-797 [<filename>:1662]
The intermediate file for entity %s is not
in the library bound to WORK
SIM_DEVICE => "?j<EX5",

This is caused by a memory error that occurs on NT/NT64 . This issue does not occur when netlist is generated in Linux.

The fix for ISE 11.3 can be downloaded from:

Please read the readme file before installing the patch.

This issue is fixed in 11.4.
