Problem Title:
HITOP M1.2.11: nd7331 - Input 'sclk_int' assigned to FCLK1 is used in logic.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

nd7331 - Input 'sclk_int' assigned to FCLK1 is used in logic. FCLK1 can only be used to fast clock m acrocell registers and/or input pad registers.
ERROR:hi301 - Cannot fit the design into any of the specified devices. You may want to decrease the pterm limit for a denser fit, or split thedesign into sub-designs, or try a larger device.

This message may occur if every IO is constrained in a ucf file, and the signal in question is broug ht in through an IBUF eventhough it does not drive standard logic elements as suggested in the error
  message.


Solution 1:

Remove the constraint from the clock input.

The 7300 architecture only has two pins for FCLKs. If one of them is constrained already, then the other is implied.



Solution 2:

Replace the IBUF with a BUFG.
