M1.4: TIMESPEC paths originating from .NMC macros (physical macros) do not get written by Map to the .PCF file
Record #2892
Product Family: Software
Product Line: FPGA Implementation
Product Part: map
Product Version: 1.4.
Problem Title:
M1.4: TIMESPEC paths originating from .NMC macros (physical macros) do not get written by
Map to the .PCF file
Problem Description:
Urgency: standard
General Description:
In all versions of Map up to and including vM1.4, TIMESPEC paths originating from .NMC macros (physi
cal macros) do not get written by Map to the .PCF file. As a result,
TIMESPECs in a design that begin in a physical macro
do not get read by PAR.
Solution 1:
Edit a copy of the .pcf file generated by Map and manually add
the .NMC-originated TIMESPEC(s) to the .PCF file after the
"schematic end" line. Then, when running PAR, specify the
name of the PCF file copy that you have edited as one of the
inputs to PAR:
par inputdesign outputname pcfile
Use NCDREAD to determine the physical name of the block or net
referenced in the TIMESPEC (see the Chapter 1 of the
Development System Reference Guide for instructions on using
NCDREAD, and Chapter 8 of the same document for details on the
.PCF file format).
