Record #6260

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Coregen

Product Part: Coregen

Product Version: c1_5

Problem Title:
V1.5, V1.4 COREGEN, VERILOG, VHDL: .vhd and .v files produced by COREGEN are only for simulation.



Problem Description:
  Urgency: standard

General Description:
.vhd and .v files produced by COREGEN are only for functional simulation. They are NOT intended to be
used for synthesis. Attempting to synthesize these models will give you suboptimal results. In mos t
cases, simulation-specific constructs used in these models will prevent you from synthesizing them altogether.

Implementation of the CORE Generator module is completely specified by the .EDN EDIF netlist generated for it. For HDL design flows, this should be instantiated in your design as a "black box" .


Solution 1:

Do not attempt to synthesize .v and .vhd files generated by CORE Generator.
