3.3i Foundation ISE Project Importer - Incorrect handling of I/O macros
説明
Keywords: ISE, Aldec, Project Importer
Urgency: Standard
General Description: Schematic symbols (macros) such as IBUF4, IBUF8, OBUF4, OBUF8, counters, etc. appear as icons with a red question mark ( "?") in the Sources window after a Foundation project is imported into ISE.
ソリューション
Schematic programs such as Foundation Schematic make use of Schematic Macros. For example, the IBUF4 library component is really just a macro, made up of 4 IBUFS (called "primitives") that are connected correctly. When these are converted to VHDL, the red question marks appear because there is no primitive called "IBUF4." However, if you look in the directory, you will see that an IBUF4.VHD was created from the schematic macro symbol. In this IBUF4.VHD file, you will find 4 IBUF instantiations.
In order to make the red question marks disappear and allow the project to run, you must add the VHD files associated with these macros. To do this:
1. Select the source with the red question mark. 2. Right-click, and select "Add Source." 3. Browse until you find the file with the same name as the question-marked source. 4. Select it, and click "Open." 5. The source will now be added to the project, and the question mark should disappear. 6. You can repeat this for each question marked source, or simply use the CTRL-Click method to select all question mark-matching sources in the "Add Source" dialog.
