M1.4 PAR - XC4000 design crashes after starting the Initial Timing Analysis.
説明
See similar but different issue covered by Solution 3317.
There is a known map bug that will lead to a crash in PAR during initial timing analysis. The problem is caused by clock configurations where an internal signal drives a buffer that in turn drives a clock buffer. Map correctly optimizes the buffer out of the design but loses the connection to the clock buffer. The driver-less clock buffer leads to a crash in PAR.
ソリューション
1
This problem can be avoided by placing a NOMERGE property on the signal driving the clock buffer and re-mapping the design. The following .ucf constraint will accomplish this:
NET "net_name" KEEP ;
The map bug is scheduled to be fixed in the upcoming M1.5 release.

This problem is fixed in the latest M1.4 Core Tools Patch available on the Xilinx Download Area:
