The problem was caused by the LCD module included in the University Program, but I have not found the reason yet.

To solve the problem I have had to overwrite the "lcd.v" generated by the SOPC with one included in a demo project from the documentation CD in order to fix some nouns incompatibilities. And well, the question is, is it normal to have syntax incompatibilities in auto generated code?

Thank you anyway.
