power - Xilinx Xpower Analyzer: Expected scope definition in VCD


I use a VCD file to evaluate the power of my design. The VCD is generated using the following command in the testbench file.


$dumpfile ("testb.vcd");
$dumpvars (0, tb.gcm_tb);


tb is the module name of the testbench. gcm_tb is the instantiated name of my design.


Xpower (version 10.1) gives me the following error:


ERROR:Power:976 - Parsing Error parse error line 7825 Expected scope definition here 

I notice that if I change the parameter into


$dumpvars (1, tb.gcm_tb);

then it does not give me the error. However, my design has several levels. Recording the power of only one level is not accurate.


How to solve this problem?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
