FPGA Compile: 'Generic file I/O error'


MCornwall

Recommended Posts

I'm attempting to compile an FPGA project for an R series card to use in Veristand 2011. I used the FPGA creator wizard to get the basic template and modify my IO as directed.

When I attempt to build the project, I get the following error.

'LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.'

=========================

NI-488: I/O operation aborted.

Error 6 occurred at Write to Text File in

niFpgaCompileWorker_SaveStatus.vi->

niFpgaCompileWorker_Status_Publish.vi->

niFpgaCompileWorker_GetStatus.vi->niFpgaCompile_Worker.vi:1

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.

=========================

NI-488: I/O operation aborted.

C:\NIFPGA\compilation\TheFPGA_FPGATarget_TheFPGA_0E9FD350\BuildResults.lvtxt

My first thought was that the file size was too long. (I had the project buried in a deep heirarchy with a long job number in the name.) I reduced the size of the FPGA project, target, and folder name then moved the project to C:\ . The name shouldn't be an issue now.

Any ideas?

The error is so generic that it doesn't feel very helpful.

Are you an administrator on your machine? IIRC, LabVIEW generates a bunch of VHDL code to pass to the Xilinx compiler and stuffs it into a folder off of C:\. I have FPGA installed right now and C:\NIFPGA is catching my eye - make sure you have recursive Full Control permissions on that folder.

I am an admin on the machine.

Also, just for kicks, I made the whole c:\NIFPGA directory writable. (I doubted it would help but was trying to remove potential issues.)

Regardless, that did not help or change anything.

Also for ref I posted on the LabVIEW forums too: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/fpga-Compile-Generic-file-I-O-error/td-p/1769212

To make sure we're on the same page, the "read only" property isn't what I'm referring to, I mean the actual file system security permissions:

Yup... I'm on board with you.

I checked the security settings first, then I made the whole directory writable. I guess I was pretty unclear regarding that.

Still having the same compile issue.

I'm having a colleague get all the components on his machine and attempt to compile as well.
