Problem Title:

2.1i Virtex MAP Error:xvkpu - Unable to obey design constraints


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

In a v300 design in which fmaps are used to insert multiple buffers to
create delay and a KEEP attribute is placed on the net between the
two buffers as well as on the net of the output of the second buffer,
the following error in map occurs:

ERROR: xvkpu - Unable to obey design constraints (MACRONAME = U9/hset, RLOC = ROCO.S1) which require the combination of the following symbols into a single slice:
    LUT symbol "u9/Q38" (Output Signal = U9/A8)
    LUT symbol "u9/Q49" (Output Signal = U9/X7D)
Signal 'U9/X7D' has a NOMERGE parameter.


Solution 1:

Workaround:

Remove the keep attribute between the two buffers.
