Problem Title:
1.5i PAR - ERROR:baspw:103 - The extension on output file ... is not valid because a PAR -n
value greater than one (1) has been specified
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description: when a -n option is specified in the template manager for par, the following er
ror results:
ERROR:baspw:103 - The extension on output file "watchvhd.ncd" is not valid
because a PAR -n value greater than one (1) has been specified. Please use
filename extension .dir to create multiple .ncd outputs.
The -n option is for multiple place and routes, resulting in multiple ncd files
Solution 1:
Use the Design Manager GUI to do a FPGA Multi Pass Place and Route. The -n option will cause par to
produce multiple output files, and just adding the -n option to the template will still only specif
y
a single output file.
Solution 2:
Run par on the command line, and specify a directory called something.dir to place the files
e.g
par -w -ol 2 -t 1 -n 3 -s 3 map.ncd ../p1.dir watchvhd.pcf
