ソリューション
The causes of these errors are similar to the "Abort" errors described in (Xilinx Solution 5308). Typically the cause is either corrupt files or project, or specific HDL coding constructs. Follow the suggestions in Solution 5308 to try to isolate the problem.
One known cause for the above error is due to 'generate' statements in VHDL. The only resolution for this cause is to remove all generate statements from the code.
