Record #3155

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: ngdbuild

Product Version: 1.5

Problem Title:
Ngdbuild: ERROR:basnu-The signal "GSR" in block "<component>" uses a Xilinx reserved global
signal name



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: When implementing a Viewlogic design with M1 these
errors are generated during the translate (ngdbuild) stage:

ERROR:basnu - The signal "GSR" in block "<component>" uses a Xilinx reserved
global signal name. Please rename this signal to something other than "GSR".

or

ERROR:basnu - The signal "GTS" in block "<component>" uses a Xilinx reserved
global signal name. Please rename this signal to something other than "GTS".


Solution 1:

This is due to the level attribute not being set properly when the EDIF netlist is produced by EDIFNETO. Set the Level to "xilinx". Command line syntax:

edifneto -l xilinx <design>

For Workview Office, simplify your flow by adding the custom Xilinx commands
described in Xilinx Solution 1985.
