FPGA Express: warning given: "'xxx/GC' (or /GS) is not connect to any net..."


Record #2254

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: FPGA Express

Product Version: 3.1

Problem Title:
FPGA Express: warning given: "'xxx/GC' (or /GS) is not connect to any net..."


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

When instantiating input/output flip flops, FPGA Express (any version up to and including 3.1) gives
  the following warning message:

"Warning: The pin 'xxxxx/GC' is not connected to any net (FE-CHECK-1)"

This may also occur with instantiated latches and other inferred synchronous logic, and may also ref er to a "GS" pin.


Solution 1:

This warning can be safely ignored. These warnings refer to the "Global Clear" and "Global Set" pin s, which are required for simulation, and have no bearing on synthesis. The fact that they appear i n FPGA Express stems from how their libraries were created.
