When running M1 Design Manager through the Mentor Design Manager, by running pld_dsgnmgr, on an HP 10.1 or HP 10.2 machine, PAR may error with the following message:
ERROR: /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: seekoff__9streambufFlQ2_3ios8seek_diri (code) from /proj/sqabld/qahog/m1builds/x1_4.12/unix/bin/hp/libbasrw.sl . . . PROGRAM ABNORMALLY TERMINATED
HITOP may give a message similiar to the following:
usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: seekoff__9streambufFlQ2_3ios8seek_diri (code) from /hwpkg/xilinxm1/bin/hp/libbasrw.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved module for symbol: __link__sti__basrwauditbuf_c_000a6c30___dt_ (data) from /hwpkg/xilinxm1/bin/hp/libbasrw.sl . . . PROGRAM ABNORMALLY TERMINATED
Solution
Basically with Mentor B.x there is a shared lib between Mentor and Xilinx, for which they are incompatible. No matter how the SHLIB_PATH is set before starting up pld_dmgr, Mentor will append the existing $SHLIB_PATH to the $MGC_HOME/lib:$MGC_HOME/shared/lib, which is where the problem occurs.
The workaround for using B.x with M1 on an HP system is to exit pld_dmgr and run 'dsgnmgr' from the UNIX prompt to process the design, then after exiting Xilinx Design Manager (dsgnmgr), go back into 'pld_dmgr' to finish up Timing Simulation etc. As long as the environment, namely the SHLIB_PATH, is set properly, then no environment changes will be needed when you exit pld_dmgr, run dsgnmgr, and then go back into pld_dmgr.
Development is currently working on a fix.
If you are not using Mentor and get this error, verify that the SHLIB_PATH is set according to the Release Document that came with the software package. It should look something like the following:
SHLIB_PATH=${XILINX}/bin/hp:lib:/usr/lib
