build error with netfpga sume

[tudang]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the DDR3 test for nfsume target. The build was failed with the following error. Maybe you forget to check-in some file.

Error: XCI file /opt/connectal/out/nfsume/axiddr3/axiddr3.xci not found
make[1]: *** [fpgamake.mk] Error 255
make: *** [build.nfsume] Error 2

The Makefile includes a rule for generating the IP core, but it is not run by default. We can fix that, but for now:

make ip.nfsume ; make build.nfsume

Thank Jamey. It solved my issue.

@tudang please keep me posted and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Hi Jamey,

after generating the IP for nfsume and building, I got the following error:

create_ip -name pcie3_7x -version 4.2 -vendor xilinx.com -library ip -module_name pcie3_7x_0 -dir /opt/connectal/out/nfsume
ERROR: [Coretcl 2-1133] Requested IP 'xilinx.com:ip:pcie3_7x:4.2' cannot be created. The latest available version in the catalog is 'xi
linx.com:ip:pcie3_7x:4.1'. If you do not wish to select a specific version please omit the version field from the command arguments, or
 use a wildcard in the VLNV.

If I modify the script connectal-synth-pcie.tcl to use pcie3 version 4.1, then it works. Do I need to generate something else for solving this error?

That script has a check for the version of vivado and chooses the PCIe version based on that. I guess we need to update it for the version of vivado you are using.

I'm currently using vivado 2016.2 but I have also tested with vivado 2016.1.

I think you can also specify version 4.* which might be easier.

For your information, I'm using vivado 2015.4.

[jameyhicks]

Looks like I had a copy paste error when updating to 2016.x and have not tested the gen3 core since then.

I just pushed a change which should fix this. I should have included the issue number in the commit.

That was commit d231954ab394eddc8a9a1ebdbd78dc3f22050b42
