Problem Title:
M1.4 Map - Mapper unable to merge a RAM and Flop with opposite clock polarities


Problem Description:
ERROR:x4kma:312 - The following symbols could not be constrained
to a single CLB: RAM16X1S symbol "HREG_1/BANK2/DELTA/RAM1" (output
signal=HREG_1/BANK2/DELTA/D0) FDCE symbol "HREG_1/BANK2/DELTA/FF1"
(output signal=HREG_1/OUT2D0) The clock signals are of opposite polarity. These symbols share the s ame RLOC attribute value, which requires them
to be mapped to the same CLB.


Solution 1:

A fix for this merge problem is included in the current M1.4 Core
