Problem Title:

**M1.3/M1.4 CPLD: Exemplar netlists use IOBUFE which is not expanded by 9k library.


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:

In XACT6, IOBUFE was included in the 9k XNF macro library that was used for all design flows. In M1, IOBUFE exists only in the XSI expansion library. Exemplar
designs containing bidi-I/Os fail with the ngdbuild warning "Logical block...
of type IOBUFE not expanded" followed by Hitop warning xr5055.


Solution 1:

Change the extension of the output file in the Exemplar menu to
".sedif" (or ".sxnf") to allow ngdbuild to use the XSI library
which expands the IOBUFEs.
