Problem Title:
LogiCORE PCI: M2.1i PAR does not guide all connections for 4KXLA/XLT, SpartanXL/Spartan PCI cores



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

The M2.1i PAR fails to guide all the required connections for the XC4KXLT/XLA,
Spartan and Spartan XL PCI cores when routing LogiCORE PCI interface developed
with the M1.5 software.

Using the default behavior of the 2.1i PAR, the number of guided connections
does not match as expected but the number of guided comps matches.


Solution 1:

This is due to a change in the default behavior in guided PAR for 2.1i as
opposed to 1.5i. The changes relate to how the tool matches the guide NCD and
the user NCD.

Use an environment variable called GUIDE_OLD before running PAR. The
number of guided comps and connections should match as expected.
