AR# 6607

FPGA Express 2.x,3.x: Express hangs while checking syntax (Abort at 1704)

Description

Keywords: FPGA Express, hang, syntax, Foundation

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When attempting to check syntax of a HDL design in Foundation or in standalone
FPGA Express, the software hangs. No error message is reported, and the machine has
to be rebooted.

Sometimes, the following error message is reported:
Synopsys Internal Error: Abort at 1704

Solution

Check to see if the application DDP32 is running. If so, then it must be stopped before
using Express. The DDP32 application is a virus protection application that has a conflict with
FPGA Express.
