Problem Title:

1.5i PAR - Bogus PAR error regarding VREF : ERROR: xvkap:61


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:   Par gives a bogus error when a PCI66_3 output buffer is LOC'ed to a Vref pin
when there is no input signals in the design that use a Vref pin.


ERROR:xvkap:61 - IOB $NET00006_ with SelectIO standard PCI66_3 requires a Vref. The site (PAD170 AB
4) it occupies is a Vref site in Bank[3].

ERROR:xvkap:29 - Due to Virtex SelectIO banking constraints, the IOBs in your design cannot be autom atically placed.

Solution 1:

A fix is now available to correct this problem in 1.5i Service Pack 2:

   ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/swhelp/M1.5i_updates/15i_sp2_fpga3_pc.zipInternet Link

CAUTION: This FTP Update is intended as a fast response for the issue
mentioned only. The risk inherent in this fast response is that there
is not enough time or resources available for the full regression testing
that is done for the Service Pack Updates and there is a higher risk of
introducing new problems. It is recommended that customers always install
the latest Service Pack Update, but only install FTP Updates when needed to
resolve specific issues.

This file is compatible with 1.5i Service Pack 2 only and should be installed
after the 1.5i SP2 Implementation Tools Update has been installed.
