Problem Title:

1.5i Virtex Back Annotation - Simulation errors during physical back annotation (no .ngm) due to clock renaming by map.



Problem Description:
The symptom is the mapper produces a GCLKIOB comp whose name ("clock") collides with its output sign al name. When ngdanno tries to name the top level port/signal after the IOB comp, the name collisio n is detected and that signal name is changed from "clock" to "clock_p". This causes the simulation
  problem.

  signal CLOCK : STD_LOGIC;
       ^
**Error: vhdlan,1072 rphy.vhd(108):
     Illegal redeclaration of CLOCK.
       I => CLOCK_P,
         ^
**Error: vhdlan,575 rphy.vhd(809):
     CLOCK_P is not declared.

Logical (with mapped.ngm) worked OK.



Solution 1:

A fix for this problem is included in the 1.5i Service Pack 1. For details
