M1.5i/2.1i: TRCE: Confusing constraint header when 4X is invoked with CLKDLL.


Record #5103

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: trce

Product Version: 1.5i

Problem Title:
M1.5i/2.1i: TRCE: Confusing constraint header when 4X is invoked with CLKDLL.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: In the Virtex devices it is posible to place two CLKDLLs in a row to achieve a 4X multiplication of the input clock signal. When a constraint is placed on the input of the CLKDLL, M1.5i TRCE/TA will create a new constraint for each of the outputs.

After going through the second DLL 2X tap, the constraint header quotes the original constraint, says that it's multiplying by *2*, then displays the new constraint correctly multiplied by 4. So the correct constraint is created, but the text in the constraint header is incorrect and can be confusing.


Solution 1:

This issue will be resolved in a future release of the software.
