Flow Engine 6.0.1: Optimize Step Must Be Run to Read in XACT-Performance Changes in Constraints File


Record #718

Product Family: Software

Product Line: M1 Graphical/General

Product Part: Flow Engine

Product Version: 6.0.1

Problem Title:
Flow Engine 6.0.1: Optimize Step Must Be Run to Read in XACT-Performance Changes in Constraints File



Problem Description:
After making changes to XACT-Performance requirements in a constraints file (design.CST), the Place and Route process in the Flow Engine does not reflect these changes.
The Place and Route software continues to use the original specifications.

Cause:
The Place and Route software does not read XACT-Performance requirements from a constraints file. XACT-Performance specifications in a constraints file are read in during the Optimize phase.


Solution 1:

To read in modifications to XACT-Performance requirements in a constraints file, run the Optimze phase. The Optimize phase will verify the syntax of the
requirements and merge it into the design file.
