Running/Launching ISim from Eclipse (w. Sigasi) generates an Runtime Error!

Posted Mon, 2010-09-13 18:49 by anderslange

Hi

When I try to run ISim, from Eclipse with the Sigasi plugin, on the tutorial project I get the following Runtime Error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Xilinx\12.1\ISE_DS\ISE\bin\nt\unwrapped\isimgui.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried setting a project ISE 12.2 with the source code from the tutorial an from here everything works fine, I can simulate the design with ISim as expected!

I'm running the latest Eclipse plugin on:
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Helios Release
Build id: 20100617-1415

I have Xilinx ISE 12.2 Design Suite.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi Anders,

Did this error message come from Sigasi or from Xilinx? Can you send me a screenshot and the error log?

thanks

Hi Phillippe

The error came from Xilinx ISim. But after updating to the just released version of Sigasi the issue has been corrected :-)

Anders Lange

same problem

Hi,

I have the same problem with the new Version.

running setup:

Windows 7 Prof 64bit
Sigasi Standalone: Sigasi HDT RCP product 1.0.0.20101214170042
ISE 12.4 (latest Version from XILINX-Server)

I'm also able to simulate the design by including the VHDL files manually into a new ISE project.

What can I do to fix this error?

Regards
Janik

Hi schlemmi, We can reproduce

Hi schlemmi,

We can reproduce this problem on a windows 7 64-bit machine but the reason for the crash still eludes us. It seems that it only happens on 64bit Windows systems, this may be a bug in ISim and thus far we haven't found a workaround. If I enter all the commands we execute from the commandline everything seems to work fine.
Could you try using the "ISE Design Suite Command Prompt" (Programs > 'Xilinx ISE Design Suite' > 'Accessories') to execute "isim_run.bat"?

Regards,
Lieven

yes

hi,

yes running the ISE Command Prompt and starting the isim_run.bat works fine for me but how can I tell sigasi to do so?

Regards
janik

Unfortunately, using the ISE

Unfortunately, using the ISE Command Prompt is the best workaround I can offer you.

I've logged this problem as ticket:1128.

Should be fixed in the latest version

If anyone is still experiencing this issue we would like to hear about it.

Lieven Lemiengre

I found the solution

You need to define the XILINX environment variable to point to your ISE install location.

I added this to my batch file for it to work for me:
set XILINX=C:\Xilinx\13.1\ISE_DS\ISE
