Hi,

I understand that you cannot provide the entire design. You may try to create a small test case that can reproduce the error.

Thanks

Best regards,

Hello,

Sorry for delay. I was actually able to solve the problem while I was working on paring down the design to a small test case that I could share. There was a WREN signal into a dual-port RAM that was accidentally not hooked up due to a typo in the signal name (which was very hard to see at a glance). I fixed the error and now the design compiles without the crash. It is strange that I did not notice any warnings about the signal not being connected, and that the result was just a crash in the power analyzer. In any case, it seems that it is working normally now. As it turns out, just being asked to make the small test case to post here was what led to finding the mistake! Thanks.
