Description

Keywords: LogiCORE, V6, S6, dump, GTP, GTX, MGT, transceiver

When I select generate in the CORE Generator GUI while generating my IBERT core for Virtex-6 GTX or Spartan-6 GTP, the GUI closes and the core is not generated. How do I work around this issue?

OR

When I import an existing XCO file to generate my IBERT core for Virtex-6 GTX or Spartan-6 GTP and hit generate, implementation runs for a while and then the GUI crashes. How do I work around this issue?

Solution

XCO import crash

Importing an XCO using the menu option it causes a crash. To load an existing XCO file for re-customization/generation, copy it to the same directory that contains the project CGP file, open CORE Generator, then re-customize the core by selecting it in the lower-left corner.

GUI Selection Crash

This will happen if you have not selected a valid GT site. The GUI will crash without any warning. Rerun core generation, and on the "Select GTX/P and Reference Clock for Line Rate x" page ensure you have selected a valid GT location.

This issue will be resolved in ChipScope Pro 11.4.
