Problem Title:
Synopsys FPGA Compiler: writes out absolete timing constrains in XNF (basnu:179)


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

FPGA Compiler writes out timing constrains which may look like:


SYM, TSR22, TIMESPEC, TS186=P2S:75.00:reset, TS187=P2S:142.00:scan,
TS188=P2S:75.00:reset, TS189=P2S:75.00:start, TS190=P2S:75.00:reset,
TS191=P2S:142.00:scan,


P2S:75:reset is in absolete form and NGDBUILD (Translate) gives warnings:

WARNING:basnu:179 - Timespec "TS0 = C2S:75.00" is an obsolete form and will not be translated.


Solution 1:

Entering the following line in your .synopsys_dc_setup will fix this problem:

xnfout_constraints_per_endpoint = 0
