Record #2887

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  M1 Graphical/General

Problem Title:
Design Manager M1.3/M1.4/M1.5: FPGA Multi-Pass Place and Route (MPPR)
greyed out



Problem Description:
Keywords:  Multi-Pass, Place, Route,  M1.4, M1.3, M1.5, grey, MPPR

Urgency:  Standard

General Description:

Trying to perform a multi-pass place and route (MPPR), however
the menu selection under the Design Menu is greyed out.


Solution 1:

You must have a Version selected in order to select the option
of running a multi-pass place and route.  The revision, or
project highlighted will not give you access to MPPR.




Solution 2:

MPPR can only operate on Xilinx FPGA families: XC3000a, XC4000e,
XC4000ex, XC4000XL, XC5200 and Spartan.  It can not operate on
CPLD's:  XC7000, XC9500.  This may be another reason why the option
is greyed out.
