Answers Database **Obsolete Solution**: XACT-CPLD : An unrecognized Symbol Type 'NOR7' was found in netlist Record #1180 Problem Title: **Obsolete Solution**: XACT-CPLD : An unrecognized Symbol Type 'NOR7' was found in netlist Problem Description: Urgency: Standard General Description: When implementing a design in XACT-CPLD ver 6.0.x, you may encounter the following warning : xr55:[Warning]An unrecognized Symbol Type 'NOR7' was found in the netlist. If this symbol is a behavioral module, make sure each instance has FILE=filename and DEF=PLD attributes in your schematic. If the symbol is a user macro, check that a schematic exists for it and that an XNF file was generated. If the symbol is a Xilinx library component, make sure the target EPLD family supports it. If you are using a synthesis tool, recompile the logic targetting an EPLD family. The XACT-CPLD software expects to see "NOR, SCHNM=NOR7" but instead sees "NOR7, SCHNM=NOR7" in the . xff file. This will be fixed in the M1 software release. Solution 1: Manually edit the .xnf file changing the coresponding SYM lines from : "NOR7, SCHNM=NOR7" to "NOR, S CHNM=NOR7".
