FPGA Express 2.1.3 - Cannot allocate CLK to BUFG using Constraints Editor


Record #4930

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: FPGA Express

Product Version: 2.1.3

Problem Title:
FPGA Express 2.1.3 - Cannot allocate CLK to BUFG using Constraints Editor


Problem Description:
Urgency:
Standard

When using FPGA Express, one may use the Express Constraints Editor to select
clock buffers to be place on input ports for clock and high fanout signals.

In some cases for XC9500 designs, the FPGA Express Constraints Editor will not
allow the selection of the BUFG. Only BUFGTS and BUFGSR are available.


Solution 1:

The workaround is to instantiate a BUFG in the HDL code.
