1198 - Simulation: ALDEC Active-HDL: Why can't Active-HDL find the PCS *.txt file after a restart? ECP2M simulations doesn't work after the initial simulation.

Simulation: ALDEC Active-HDL: If a user tries to run functional simulations after a restart command in the Active-HDL console, the following error might occur:


# EXECUTION:: ERROR : Auto configuration file for PCS module not found. PCS internal configuration registers will not be initialized correctly during simulation!

In this case, user will see that the PCS has lost it's configuration and will not simulate properly.

Explanation of what has happened: The *.txt file is the PCS configuration file. ActiveHDL loses the path to this txt file when a restart command is issued.

Work around: Before doing a restart, issue the following command:
>set SIM_WORKING_FOLDER .

Then do a restart and run the simulation.
