Hi everyone,
I just installed a new workstation, a Core2 duro running linux 64 bits. But I can use data2bram on it, it crashes every time. I've tested with both 8.2 and 9.1 (both with latest service pack). For 8.2 I even tried the 32b and the 64 version.
Using this utility is really important for me to update picoblaze and microblaze software without a need to recompile each time I want to test a new firmware.
Has anyone encountered such an issue ?

I once came upon a system where data2mem would crash completely under Windows. To make the matter worse this was during a visit to a company in Shanghai and I really needed to get the design working quickly on their machine. I don't remember what I did to solve this but I'm afraid that I gave up on data2mem and just recompiled the design every time. If I remember correctly I have also encountered some crashes if the input files to data2mem are not correct (such as errors in the .bmm file).
You could also try to run data2mem on a different machine. data2mem does not depend on any other Xilinx library so you don't need a full install.
Another way to solve your problem if you have no luck at all in getting data2mem to work could be to use the following flow:
xdl -ncd2xdl yourdesign.ncd perl acustomperlscript.pl yourdesign.xdl yourbramcontents.txt xdl -xdl2ncd yourdesign.xdl
Unfortunately this would not be very well integrated into the EDK flow (which I assume you are using for microblaze at least). Not to mention that you would have to write the perl script yourself.
