Problem Title:
FPGA Express 2.1.3: Error: Clock variable is being used as data (HDL-175).


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When synthesizing a design using FPGA Express v2.x, the following error may occur:

Error: Clock variable 'CLK' is being used as data . (HDL-175)

This error will occur if the signal 'CLK' is used as both a clock signal and regular data.


Solution 1:

This issue has been resolved for most cases in FPGA Express 3.0 and newer.
However, some issues of this type still exist and are scheduled to be fixed in a future release of FPGA Express software.
