AR# 3396

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.
