XABEL: Can't find file x.bl0; BLIF2EQN can only translate projects with 4 or fewer functional_block (hierarchy) statements

描述

Keywords: Abel, Xabel, BLIF2EQN, functional block, .bl0, hierarchy

Urgency: standard

General Description: When compiling a design with 5 or more functional_block
statements, ABL2EDIF fails with the error "can't find x.bl0 file".

解决方案

This is an issue with the subprogram BLIF2EQN, which translates BLIF
(Berkeley Logic Interchange Format) files into logical equations for the
report. BLIF2EQN can only handle up to four hierarchical functional_blocks.

There are a couple workarounds:

1) Re-Write the code with 4 or fewer functional_block statements.
2) Create a batch file that omits the call to BLIF2EQN. One can do this
by compiling a design with fewer than 4 functional block statements,
then editing the abl2edif.log file and deleting everything but the
program calls, excluding those program calls to BLIF2EQN.
One can then run the batch file from a DOS prompt.

An example batch file is shown below: In this example the top level Abel file, test,
contains five functional_blocks, sub1 through sub5. Note that ahdl2blf and blifopt
need to be run only once for each lower level .abl file even if the file is used
multiple times in the top level file.
