Problem Title:
Ngdbuild: ERROR:basnu-The signal "GSR" in block "<component>" uses a
Xilinx reserved global signal name



Problem Description:
Keywords: viewlogic, ngdbuild, edifneto, GSR, GTS

Urgency: Standard

General Description:  When implementing a Viewlogic design with M1 these
errors are generated during the translate (ngdbuild) stage:

ERROR:basnu - The signal "GSR" in block "<component>" uses a Xilinx reserved
global signal name.  Please rename this signal to something other than "GSR".

or

ERROR:basnu - The signal "GTS" in block "<component>" uses a Xilinx reserved
global signal name.  Please rename this signal to something other than "GTS".


Solution 1:

This is due to the level attribute not being set properly when the EDIF netlist
is produced by EDIFNETO.  Set the Level to "xilinx".  Command line syntax:

edifneto -l xilinx <design>

For Workview Office, simplify your flow by adding the custom Xilinx commands
described in Xilinx Solution 1985.
