3.1i Virtex-II PAR - PAR Warning: "Route:49 - The signal "GLOBAL_LOGIC0" has no loads so was not routed."
説明
Keywords: BitGen, PAR, router, unrouted, not routed, GLOBAL_LOGIC0, GLOBAL_LOGIC, WARNING:Route:49
Urgency: Standard
General Description: My designs have PWR/GND signals with no loads, and as a result, the following messages are reported from BitGen DRC:
"WARNING:Route:49 - The signal "GLOBAL_LOGIC0" has no loads so was not routed." or: "WARNING:Route:49 - The signal "GLOBAL_LOGIC1" has no loads so was not routed."
ソリューション
1
This problem occurs because of pin swapping. When all load pins are swapped away from a PWR/GND net, PAR fails to remove the resulting loadless net.
NOTE: The SP7/SP8 fix for this problem may introduce a new problem in some designs that causes the timing score to diverge during routing. Please see (Xilinx Answer 11421) for further details.

This problem can be avoided in versions prior to SP7 and in SP8 if the patch for (Xilinx Answer 11421) is installed.
To work around this issue, you can disable DRC during BitGen by using the "-d" switch. Alternatively, you can use FPGA Editor to manually delete the loadless PWR/GND nets flagged by DRC. In version 4.1i, DRC will ignore these harmless nets by default.
