2.1i COREGEN, SOLARIS, HP: Coregen appears to scan newly installed cores every time it is started up

Keywords: coregen, new, core, ip, solaris, workstation, hp
Urgency: standard
General Description: Coregen appears to scan newly installed cores every time it is started up. Normally Coregen should only have to do this once during startup after an IP update is installed.
The problem may be observed when a system administrator installs a Coregen IP update, but does not start up the CORE Generator application immediately afterward to allow it to rebuild the resources.lib database.
The $XILINX/coregen/ip/resources.lib database file In the 2.1i release contains a listing of all installed cores. resources.lib is built up by Coregen when it first starts up, and is also updated by Coregen if it detects that new cores have been installed. If your system administrator installs a new IP update, but does not also start up Coregen to rebuild this database, all other users will see this problem every time they try to start up Coregen because their Coregen sessions do not have the proper permissions to update this database. However, outside of the slightly longer startup time, the CORE Generator will still run.
解决方案
The solution is to have the system admin install the IP update, and then start up Coregen immediately afterward in order to update this database file.
There have been instances where resources.lib does not get updated even when the system administrator is starting up the Coregen application. If this happens, check the following:
- Is the $XILINX/coregen/ip directory and the resources.lib file writeable by the administator?
Correct any write permission problems.
If this does not work, try deleting the resources.lib file and forcing the CORE Generator to regenerate it from scratch.
