Coregen Memory Initialization issue

Robert,

I have had a similar issue with CoreGen in the past. You can check the

The solution for me was to directly edit the *.xco file. CoreGen was setting the load_init_file attribute to false and may have been listing the wrong init file as well. You can directly edit this file and then rerun CoreGen in batch mode.

coregen -b file.xco

Hope this helps, Stephen

Thanks Stephen.

I checked the .xco file and it looks like the coe file is linked properly.

So I am not sure what's wrong. Is there anything else that need to be checked?

Robert.

I also checked the .edn file and looks like the string is initialized. It does show my initial data in there.
