system.hdf may be corrupted

Question

We are using 2014.4 for Vivado/SDK/Petalinux, the hardware engineer create .hdf file under window vivado, I took this file and tried to generate Hardware Platform Specification using SDK under Ubuntu linux machine, I got following error:

ERROR: [Common 17-273] Failed to open zip archive /opt/project/try/tryProj/subsystems/linux/hw-description/system.hdf. This may indicate that the file is corrupt.
ERROR: [Hsi 55-1451] Error: running open_hw_design.

Anybody knows how to fix the problem? I also tried, generate Hardware Platform Specification under window SDK which has no problem, but failed at same error when trying to run petalinx-config for my project. I guess it's format difference between window and linux, but don't know how to fix this.

We are using zedboard.
Thanks

Hi there,

While you should be able to do what you are attempting, it is generally recommended for your team to use the same tools and versions to reduce incompatibility issues. We mostly see these issues with regards to "/" vs "" as well as other issues.

Since you have already tested what I would have suggested (complete rebuild on either Linux OR Windows) and have shown that it seems to work, I can recommend for you to stop over at the Xilinx forum as you will find a much greater audience able to answer Xilinx Tool questions.
