Problem Title:
Concept2xnf:  timespec name other than TS01 through TS10 not translated
to XNF file



Problem Description:
As released, CONCEPT2XNF only supports timespecs which are
named TS01, TS02, ... up to TS10.  These predefined names are
listed in a properties file called concept2xnf.prop, located in
<cadence_install_dir>/share/library/xilinx/data.


Solution 1:

If you need to name a timespec anything other than TS01
through TS10, you need to add an entry for it in
concept2xnf.prop.  You
can make a local copy of it for a specific design, as
CONCEPT2XNF.PROP will use the .prop file in the working
directory before it uses the one in the standard location.

Format of the entry you need to add:

TS01:		  =TS01=;

This tells CONCEPT2XNF that when it encounters a property
called "TS01", it needs to write it out as "=TS01=<value>"

For example, to add support for a timespec property called "TSMINE", add this li
ne
to your concept2xnf.prop file:

TSMINE: 	=TSMINE=;
