Product Version: 5.2.1

Problem Title:
XNFPREP 5.2.1: Errors 7822, 7854 from constraints file TIMESPEC


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:
    When creating a constraints file with a "timespec" line in it, XNFPREP errors 7822, 7854 may occu
r.


Solution 1:

The diagnosis given in the error message should be checked first. The correct syntax for a TIMESPEC in a .cst file is:

timespec="TS01=FROM:abc:TO:xyz=40";

This goes on a line by itself in a regular ASCII text file.
If you have the proper syntax, and the TNMs exist (abc, xyz in this example), then the problem may b e that you have spaces in the TIMESPEC line. The following line may cause problems because of spaces :

timespec="TS01=FROM: abc :TO:xyz = 40";

Refer to (Xilinx Solution 1331) for more information on TIMESPECs in constraints files.
