A1.4/F1.4 PAR - PAR tries to insert bogus route-thru in clock IOB.


Record #3742

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: par

Product Version: 1.4.

Problem Title:
A1.4/F1.4 PAR - PAR tries to insert bogus route-thru in clock IOB.


Problem Description:
PAR introduces drc errors by incorrectly trying
to use a used clock IOB site for a route-thru:

  Signal REC_DISP/DISPLAY/D_CTRL/D_DRAMAD/RDCLO7 is connected
  to O pin and I1 pin of the used clock IOB "CLK4X", but the
  route-thru is not connected internally. This leads to DRC
  warnings:

  WARNING:x4kdr:20 - Blockcheck: "O" on comp (mapped physical
  logic cell) "CLK4X" has a signal attatched to the pin, but
  the comp is not programmed to use the pin.
  WARNING:x4kdr:20 - Blockcheck: "I1" on comp (mapped physical
  logic cell) "CLK4X" has a signal attatched to the pin, but
  the comp is not programmed to use the pin.
