XEPLD/XABEL: xr2: [Error] Ignoring symbol with same name as previous symbol.
説明
When compiling an EPLD design with ABEL macros through the EPLD core tools, the following error may occur during the Optimizer/Partitioner phase of Implementation:
xr2: [Error] Ignoring symbol with same name as previous symbol. Please use unique symbol names.
This error indicates that there are 2 symbols in the XNF file which have the same instance name. This can happen with tri-state nodes, if the NODETRST Plusasm property is not used. A TBUF and an OR gate will be put into the XNF file with the same instance name, which is illegal XNF syntax.
If a node or pin is desired to be tri-state, the NODETRST Plusasm property must be attached to it in order for the node to be properly synthesized.
ソリューション
Use the following syntax for 3-state nodes. In the declarations section:
OUT1 pin; "OUT1 is the 3-stated output pin (or node).
XEPLD Property 'node (nodetrst) OUT1';
*Note: even if the signal is declared as a pin in the ABEL file this is necessary, since the ABEL file is a macro, and not a top-level design.
