Problem Description: On some occasions, 3.1i PAR places components in reserved sites resulting in the following DRC ERRORs:
ERROR:DesignRules:355 - Chipcheck: Illegal IO placement. IO bank 5 contains IOs which require a VREF signal, but Comp a1 is placed on a VREF reserved site R6. ERROR:DesignRules:462 - Chipcheck: Incompatible IO standards. IO standard LVCMOS25 of comp a2 and IO standard LVCMOS15 of comp a0 are incompatible. They cannot be in the same IO bank.
ソリューション
As a workaround, users can use the Prohibit constraint to prohibit VREF pins from being used. This problem is scheduled to be fixed in the 2nd quarterly update to 3.1i, which will also be known as 3.1i service pack 6. It is due out in late November, 2000.
