3.1i COREGEN - Foundation ISE Symbol file not generated for Single/Dual port Block Ram cores with coefficient files.
Description
Keywords: Foundation ISE, Block Memory, .coe, ECS, Schematic, Symbol,
Urgency: Standard
General Description: When trying to generate Single or Dual Port Block Memory from Core Generator, the Schematic Symbol file (.sym) for the Foundation ISE schematic capture tool will not be generated if the .coe file is specified. A symbol file will be generated if the .coe file is not used.
Solution
A workaround is to first generate a core without specifying the .coe file; this will give the .sym file. Then re-generate the core again, specifying the .coe file.
