I was duplicating the tutorial on how to use the DDR memory on the Au, but I get a Critical Warning upon building.
The design runs ok, but the "Critical" part of the warning worries me a bit.
I think the problems start right at the start when I add the Memory Controller. It complains about not finding an .xci file:

Compare this to exactly the same stage in the tutorial:

It makes the same complaint after I add the clock wizard core (in fact it seems to say this after generating any cores).
When I add in all the code (exactly duplicating the tutorial), it successfully builds, but gives me the critical warning:
Should I just ignore the warning, or is it a sign that there is something wrong, and it will come back to bite me?
Thanks,
Rory
