Synopsys Design/FPGA Compiler: Cannot find a valid implementation for module 'xdw_comp_uns'. (SYNH-14)


Record #6958

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: FPGA Compiler

Product Version: 1998.08

Problem Title:
Synopsys Design/FPGA Compiler: Cannot find a valid implementation for module 'xdw_comp_uns'. (SYNH-14)



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When inferring a comparator when synthesizing with Synopsys' Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler and ta rgetting a Virtex device, the following error may occur:

Error: Cannot find a valid implementation for module 'xdw_comp_uns'. (SYNH-14)

There is due to a problem with the Xilinx Designware component xdw_comp_uns for Virtex. Design/FPGA Compiler will not be able to finish successfully whenever it infers that component.


Solution 1:

At this time, there is no workaround. This will be patched in a future service pack for the 2.1i so ftware release.

FPGA Compiler II / FPGA Express do not exhibit this problem.
