Hi Haoxuan: There is a bug in Planahead V14. It works fine with the ngc files generated by the version older than 14. If the ngc files are generated by V14 itself, the planahead won't work.
I opened a xilinx webcase <CASE:966795>, but no answer so far. cheers homin On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 3:14 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Send casper mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/[email protected] > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of casper digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
