Problem Title:
M1.5: Timing Constraint Priority is being ignored for FROM:THRU:TO.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: In the M1.5 timing software the FROM:THRU:TO has the same priority as the FROM:TO. This can cause the FROM:THRU:TO to be ignored when applying the
constraints. For example:

TIMESPEC TS_01 = FROM:FFS:THRU:NET:TO:FFS:20; has the same priority as
TIMESPEC TS_02 = FROM:FFS:TO:FFS:10; and TS02 could override TS_01.


Solution 1:

To resolve this issue apply a priority to the FROM:THRU:TO constraint. For example:

TIMESPEC TS_01 = FROM:FFS:THRU:NET:TO:FFS:20:PRIORITY:1;

This is fixed in the next release, which is 2.1i
