Record #6071

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: ngd_prep

Problem Title:
NGD2VER/NGD2VHDL: Creates netlists with undriven signals that produce 'X' outputs in simulation



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
NGD2VER or NGD2VHDL creates netlists with undriven signals
that produce 'X' outputs in simulation


Solution 1:

When running Ngd2ver or Ngd2vhdl with the "-r" option, the user
must also run ngdanno with the NGM file. Otherwise, do not specify
the "-r".



Solution 2:

Though the symptoms show in Ngd2ver or Ngd2vhdl, the problems
occurs upstream in Ngd_prep.

This has been fixed in the next release from Xilinx (2.1). However, the
current work-around is to set the environment variable XIL_PP_OPTIMIZE

setenv XIL_PP_OPTIMIZE ""

re-run Ngd2ver/Ngd2vhdl
