Problem Title:
F1.4 XABEL: Xilinx Property 'Initialstate' passes INIT property, which isn't supported
Problem Description:
Keyword: initialstate, INIT, xabel, abel, abl, xc3000
Urgency: Urgent
Short Description: There is a problem with XABEL software v1.5 in the
implementation of an initial state for xc3k flip-flops. The software should
implement a preset flip-flop as an FDC with an inverter on the D input and on the
Q output. Instead it is being implemented like an xc4k preset Initial state flip-flop.
1. Using the initial state command puts an INIT property on an FD.
2. Using the .ap extention calls an FDP component.
Solution 1:
Below is a sample FDP.xnf file which can also be
used in place of an FDP.edn file. Save the text
between the dotted lines as a text file named
FDP.xnf

Solution 2:
The workaround to this problem is to use the .ap extention to preset the initial state and
then create an FDP.edn file. An FDP.edn file can be created with Foundation
schematic capture by selecting the FDP component and generating
a netlist from it. The FDP.edn file must be located where the design.edn file is
located.
Example:
"xilinx property 'Initialstate sInitState';
Equation
sInitState.ap = '0';
