When I run make model,it shows error:

Can you tell my why it shows like this?
By the way,my snap_env.sh is:
export PSLVER=9
export TIMING_LABLIMIT="-200"
export ACTION_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/actions/hdl_helloworld
#export PSL_DCP=

export CAPI20="y"
#export PSL9_IP_CORE=
export SIMULATOR=xsim

Can you tell me more ? Which vivado version are you using? which card are you targeting ?

Answer 2 · 2021-03-17T03:04:09.000Z

My vivado version is 2019.2, and my card is Alpha-Data ADM-PCIE-9V3 which support CAPI2.0, besides, my ubuntu version is 20.04

Answer 3 · 2021-03-17T03:25:57.000Z

I just configure the environment as Readme.md，but I can't run any example program in the snap/actions

Answer 4 · 2021-03-17T09:58:04.000Z

Hi,
when simulating only, your self-made snap_env.sh file content should be limited to PSLSE_ROOT definition as the rest is set by the "make snap_config" step.
Check

https://github.com/open-power/snap/tree/master/hardware/sim#pslse-setup
see page 4 of the Start Guide at : https://github.com/open-power/snap/blob/master/doc/UG_CAPI_SNAP-QuickStart_on_a_General_Environment.pdf

Do you use the default xsim simulator ?
Thanks

Answer 5 · 2021-03-17T14:12:18.000Z

I had set it,but the still have the error

Answer 6 · 2021-03-17T14:54:23.000Z

Hi,
using prepared examples, you should not mention manually the part reference (like ~~export FPGACHIP=xcvu9p-flgb2104-2l-e~~). And this part is not the part that is used in AD9V3 card. So you might have some weird configuration.
You should restart from the beginning following the previously mentioned User's Guide.
Please use default "xsim" simulator for first tests.

Answer 7 · 2021-03-17T15:01:34.000Z

Your issue seems to be a Vivado installation issue. Let's check that things are correctly set on our side.
Let's start things from scratch as Alexandre suggested it
Can you try the following:
check that the 2 XILINX variables are correctly set =>

$ env |grep XILINX
	XILINX_VIVADO=<path>/xilinx/Vivado/2019.2
	XILINX_ROOT=<path>/xilinx

if not, then you may need to run: source <path>xilinx/Vivado/2019.2/settings64.sh
=> then install snap and pslse softwares and configure as follow

git clone https://github.com/open-power/snap.git
git clone https://github.com/ibm-capi/pslse.git
cd snap
make snap_config

=> select the card type CAPI2 AlphaData AD9V3 and the action type HLS HelloWorld and keep all other options unchanged, then Exit
You should have the following displayed

=====Content of snap_env.sh============================
export TIMING_LABLIMIT="-200"
export ACTION_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/actions/hls_helloworld
export PSLVER=9
#export PSL9_IP_CORE= <for CAPI2.0 cards: path to ibm.com_CAPI_PSL9_WRAP_2.00.zip file>
export PSLSE_ROOT=
=======================================================

Edit the snap_env.sh file to add pslse path as follow if you have put it at the same level than snap directory
export PSLSE_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/../pslse

Then just build the simulation model and run the simulation executing the following:

make model
make sim

Tell us if this doesn't work ok by sending us at what step it fails

Answer 8 · 2021-03-18T09:23:21.000Z

hi, I reset my ubuntu system and do this again, now I do it as you say, my snap_env.sh is(I now change it from hld_helloworld to hls_helloworld):
export PSLVER=9
export TIMING_LABLIMIT="-200"
export ACTION_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/actions/hls_helloworld
export PSLSE_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/../pslse
export XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE=/root/.Xilinx/vivado.lic
export CAPI20="y"
#export PSL9_IP_CORE=
export SIMULATOR=xsim
when I run make model, the error is:

Answer 9 · 2021-03-18T09:25:56.000Z

Can you tell me how to choose I card? Should I write it in snap_env.sh? I can't run make model of hdl_helloworld because it shows:

root@ubuntu:/home/sysy007uuu/Downloads/fpga/snap# make model
Precompiling the Action logic: hdl_helloworld
[HW PROJECT..........] start 17:25:23 Thu Mar 18 2021
[CONFIG ACTION HW....] start 17:25:23 Thu Mar 18 2021
Call action_config.sh (creating action IPs)
action config says ACTION_ROOT is /home/sysy007uuu/Downloads/fpga/snap/actions/hdl_helloworld
action config says FPGACHIP is
Call create_action_ip.tcl to generate IPs

Answer 10 · 2021-03-18T09:27:34.000Z

It just means I should select a FPGACHIP manually

Answer 11 · 2021-03-18T09:29:17.000Z

I put the Power9 IP core in the default log ${SNAP_ROOT}/hardware/capi2-bsp/psl/ibm.com_CAPI_PSL9_WRAP_2.00.zip, so I don't need to set it manually.

Answer 12 · 2021-03-18T09:31:48.000Z

I update my Vivado from 2019.2 to 2020.1

Answer 13 · 2021-03-18T09:32:54.000Z

Hi,
to simulate from scratch you need to run make snap_config as per doc or Bruno's message. This will allow you to select the card. Please use 2019.2 version of Vivado.
Best regards

Answer 14 · 2021-03-18T09:38:33.000Z

what does from scratch you need to run make snap_config as per doc or Bruno's message mean?

Answer 15 · 2021-03-18T09:54:10.000Z

that means, restart with 2019.2 from clean git installed default directories and following the steps mentioned in the User's Guide, or Bruno's very quick steps. I noticed that the hardware/sim/README.md doesn't mention the make snap_config step, I'll correct this. The snap_config is almost mandatory to configure the system, otherwise you take the risk to have inconsistencies if you manually set parameters.

Answer 16 · 2021-03-18T11:24:40.000Z

So I shouldn't edit snap_env.sh manually？

Answer 17 · 2021-03-18T13:10:26.000Z

Edit the snap_env.sh file to add pslse root path as follow (if you have put it at the same level than snap directory)
export PSLSE_ROOT=${SNAP_ROOT}/../pslse
You may need to add also the path to your ibm.com_CAPI_PSL9_WRAP_2.00.zip file, but this is needed only for synthesis (not useful for simulation)
export PSL9_IP_CORE= <for CAPI2.0 cards: path to ibm.com_CAPI_PSL9_WRAP_2.00.zip file>
