General Description: During simulation netlist creation (ngd2ver, ngd2vhdl, ngd2xnf, ngd2edif), the following error may occur:
ERROR:basut:79 - File system full!
Solution
There are two root causes of this error. Either the project drive really is full, or the drive where the temporary directory is located is full. The simulation netlist writers NGD2VHDL, NGD2VER, NGD2XNF, NGD2EDIF write the output netlist to a temporary file, and only copy it to the real output name if no errors or problems occur.
If this error occurs, first check to be sure there is enough space on the project drive. The project drive should have adequate space for the writing of the project file. This amount is dependent on the size of the device being targeted.
From Windows 95 or NT, this may be done either from File Manager, Explorer, or the DOS prompt (using the DIR command).
From UNIX this may be done with the following command :
df -k <project_directory>
If there appears to be adequate space, check the amount of space in the temporary directory drive.
For Windows 95 users, this is determined from the TEMP variable in the autoexec.bat file.
For Windows NT user, it is determined by the TEMP variable defined in the System Variables or User Variables for the system. If both are defined, the User Variable takes presidence.
For UNIX users, the location of the temporary file is determined by the tempnam system call. By default, the Solaris tempnam will use the /var/tmp directory, which may have considerably less space than your standard partition. You can override the use of the default directory by setting the environment variable TMPDIR to an alternate directory which has more free space available.
