Error during Netlist Generation in Simulink

I was trying to generate a netlist from a simple Model in simulink. I can run the simulation (using sysgen).

When I try to create a netlist , it throws an error :

" * ERROR *

Errors occurred during netlist generation. Error using ==> xlProcBlockElaborateBMM at 19 synopsis file 'C:\<..>\timing\synopsis' not found "

So, I tried to create a synopsis folder manually, and then It started throwing following error:

* ERROR *

Errors occurred during netlist generation. Java exception occurred: com.xilinx.sysgen.netlist.NetlistInternal: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Kiran\timing\synopsis\synopsis (Access is denied) at com.xilinx.sysgen.netlist.XTable.valueOf(Unknown Source) at com.xilinx.sysgen.netlist.Block.fromXTable(Unknown Source)

I tried running Matlab as Administrator, but with same outcome. Kindly let me know if I am missing something here:

So, here are the config details :

Matlab version : Version 7.10 (R2010a)
Xilinx System Generator Version 12.2

I did not find any solutions in the Xilinx forums, so I am posting it here.

Thanks

Solution

  • Not come across that one - it sounds like a horrible internal error.

    It looks like you're creating a timing netlist - can you create any of the other option netlists? It might provide different (more useful) error messages!

    Other solutions are of the typically tedious form:

    • Re-run the Xilinx System Generator Configurator
    • try a different PC
    • reinstall the Xilinx tools
    • Log a WebCase

    Sorry!
