The launcher message is normal for the PCI core There is no source code = for this core, so the ngdbuild will take the netlist instead of = compiling the source code. This is correct.

Hello,

As someone had previously posted, the warning messages that are issued by NGDBUILD when the core netlist is merged with your user-design are expected and normal.

Any kind of "abnormal program termination" is never expected, and never normal. Quite simply, you should never receive a coredump or other abnormal program termination. Period.

However, complex software systems are rarely ever perfect, so sometimes this kind of stuff happens. I urge you to file a case with the Xilinx support hotline to resolve the issue.

Thanks, Eric Crabill
