M1.5/2.1i: EPIC/FPGA Editor and TRACE gives different names for Superbels and Components


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

comp name and a superbel name. The comp name is the name given
by the user. The superbel name is a machine generated name.

When the user then runs TRCE/Timing Analyzer on this ncd file and the pcf file contains constraints which cause TRCE to look at these superbels, TRCE will issue several warnings stating that these com ponents will be ignored in the analysis. However, the name it lists in the warning is the superbel n ame. Therefore, there is no way to trace the name back to EPIC to verify that it is a superbel.


Solution 1:

Currently this is being addressed in the next release of the software.
