M1.2 MAP: Problems with map3_nt.zip patch when installed in MYXILINX directory on Windows NT and Win95 systems: FATAL_ERROR:baspm:baspmdlm.c fail to open libx4kma.dll
説明
Keywords: map, windows NT, 95, libx4kma.dll, 1.2.11, patch
Urgency: standard
General Description: Map M1.2.11 with the map3_nt.zip patch may issue the following error on Windows NT and Windows 95 platforms when the following two conditions are true.
1. the patch is run from the Design Manager/Flow Engine GUI, and
2. the patch is installed in a separate location pointed to by the MYXILINX variable.
The following error is issued:
FATAL_ERROR:baspm:baspmdlm.c fail to open libx4kma.dll--1.2.11 map3_nt.zip patch
Depending on whether Map is run from the Design Manager or from a DOS box in Windows NT, and whether the patch is installed in a separate MYXILINX area or installed over the Xilinx install directory, the results have been observed to vary as follows:
WINDOWS NT: =========== Patch installed Patch installed to MYXILINX to XILINX dir. --------------- ---------------
Run from GUI Can't load Works ok ------------ libx4kma.dll
Run from DOS box system crash system crash ------------
Win95: ====== Patch installed Patch installed to MYXILINX to XILINX dir. --------------- ---------------
Run from GUI Can't load Works ok ------------ libx4kma.dll
Run from DOS box Works ok Works ok ------------
In one test case, the design processes with no problem in M1.3.7.
ソリューション
In general, installing patches in a separate MYXILINX directory on Windows NT systems shows varying degrees of success from system to system.
The most reliable approach is to install any Xilinx patches to the Windows95/NT platform software to the XILINX directory instead. This means that any existing files are also in the patch must be overwritten.
