AR# 7946

5.1i CORE Generator, VANTAGE, VHDL - "Error: Configuration "cfg_beh" cannot be created because the library already has a configuration with the same name. (util/LBR/58)"

Description


Urgency: Hot



General Description:

Certain VHDL simulators (such as Viewlogic Vantage) do not allow the compilation of a VHDL configuration of a given name more than once in a library. Because (Xilinx Answer 6250) directs me to specify the VHDL models in the XilinxCoreLib library with wild cards, I encounter a problem when recompiling the same configuration; errors similar to the following are reported:

These errors are seen with PULLUP, BUFT and C_LUT models.



As the messages indicate, Vantage does not allow the compilation of configurations with the same name, although this is a perfectly valid task.

Solution

The "cfg_beh" configuration declarations for PULLUP, BUFT, and C_LUT are all located in the prims_sim_arch.vhd file. As they are actually empty declarations, simply deleting them from these models will prevent the errors.
