HDL:Compiler:104:104 - "path" Line XXX: Cannot find in library

So you typically get this error when importing an EDK created core into the ISE. You need to have the design include these libraries, to do this do:

  1. Go to the  <Libraries> Tab
  2. Type in the exact Library Name
  3. in the Library Files location you actually need to go there, it will look something like /path/to/EDK/hw/XilinxProcessorIPLib/pcores/proc_common_v2_00_a/hdl/vhdl/
  4. It should find all the files and you are good to go

Steam Error Code: -130 Failed to load web page / steam needs to be online to update

Hi all,

A friend of mine recently got a pretty terrible virus. After removing everything I discovered his steam also seemed to be broken. On the Steam "Ads" popup as well as the main page I would get the following errors:

Error Code: -130  Failed to load web page (unknown error). 

steam needs to be online to update. please confirm your network connection and try again
 
 
it turns out you can correct these simply by doing the following: 
 

Chrome Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Network > Change Proxy Settings > Lan Settings > Deselect ProxyCheckbox
 
I guess the viruses turned on some proxy...

Xilinx SDK Error Launching Program: Error while running ps7_init method

Sometimes I get this message:

Error Launching Program

Unexpected error while launching program Error while running ps7_init method:

Typically, this happens to me after I have copied a project in ISE over to my computer or overwritten some files.

The things you should check are:

  • You have the system.bit bitstream selected
  • When you go to Run as> Run Configurations> Xilinx C/C++ ELF go to the Device Initialization tab, and browse/refresh the .tcl even if it is correct

Canceling a bid on Ebay

Someone recently wanted to cancel a bid they placed. I actually had to look this up. To do this, click on your item, the click on the (#) number of bids. It should bring up the bidding history page. At the bottom of the page click on "See how to cancel bids" Go to that link and fill out the Item #, User ID, and a quick reason.

Just future reference stuff for me....
