Problem Description:

ngdbuild will issue the following error is a BUFE or BUFT output drives the OPAD directly: ERROR:xvkpu - The symbol page1$4p/i5 failed to join a regular I/O component as

Solution 1:

Using the output of BUFT or BUFE to drive OPAD is actually an illegal connection. Users should use OBUFT or OBUFE components instead.
