Hi again I could track-down the issue and solve it. It's due to a bug in CASPER toolflow.
I checked the System Generator block and noticed that the value of part name is all lowercase. However, by checking the file "xps_xsg_snap_conf_mask.m" in CASPER toolflow, I noticed the part number is being set to "Kintex7", Please notice the capital "K". To solve the issue I changed the file "/mlib_devel/xps_library/xps_xsg_snap_conf_mask.m" and line 41 from : xlsetparam(xsg_blk,'xilinxfamily', 'Kintex7',... to: xlsetparam(xsg_blk,'xilinxfamily', 'kintex7',... The same issue should persist with VCU118. I haven't checked it yet. I'll do it in a very near future.
