Product Part: Epic

Problem Title:
M1.x; EPIC:: ERROR: basep: This component is part of a macro/Cannot swap macro component.


Problem Description:


Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Attempting to modify a design (for example, swapping CLB's)
with EPIC produces the following error.

basep: This component is part of a macro.
basep: Cannot swap macro component.

The CLB that needs to be modified is part of an EPIC "macro."


Solution 1:


Unbind the macro before making the changes.

  1. In the "EPIC List" window, select "Macs All" to view the
       macros in the design.
  2. In the "EPIC List" winodw, select the macro that contains

Now, the changes can be made.
