Problem Title:
Design Architect: Can the generic libraries (gen_lib) be used to in
Xilinx schematics?



Problem Description:
Keywords: Mentor, gen_lib, schematic

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Can I use the generic libraries (gen_lib) from Mentor Graphics to create a
valid netlist for M1?


Solution 1:

The generic libraries supplied by Mentor Graphics will not compile to an
acceptable EDIF netlist for M1.  These libraries are used as part of
Xilinx simulation models, and are not suitable for implementation.

To properly implement a schematic in M1, a design must be entered using
the Xilin Unified Libraries.
