Record #3451

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: map

Product Version: 1.4.

Problem Title:
M1.4 Map - If mapper has errors, the map report (.mrp) doesn't contain trim information.


Problem Description:
Some map fatal errors are a direct result of missing
connectivity resulting from the trimming of unused signals.
Because trim reports were not being written to the map
report file when fatal errors occured, it was not possible
to debug the problem. A patch has been made available so
that trim report is available in these cases.


Solution 1:

A fix to always write trim reports is included in the current
M1.4 Core Applications patch available from the Xilinx Download
