Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: par

Product Version: 1.5i

Problem Title:

1.5 4KX* PAR - INTERNAL_ERROR:x4kpl:x4kplanal.c:1730:1.73.3.2 - MACRO TYPE NOT FOUND.


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:

Macro with RLOC_ORIGIN attribute results in following error in par:

   INTERNAL_ERROR:x4kpl:x4kplanal.c:1730:1.73.3.2 - MACRO TYPE NOT FOUND.

When RLOC_ORIGIN constraint is removed, par completes with no errors.

This problem is caused by locking a macro that contains a wrapping carry chain. The code that attempts to restrict the legal locations for the group can't handle both the wrapping carry chain and the lock.



Solution 1:

Workaround is to remove the RLOC_ORIGIN attribute from design.

This issue has been addressed in version 2.1i of the software.
