Problem Title:

2.1i Virtex Map - The Virtex packer is failing to process the local output directive properly.



Problem Description:
The packer fails to process the FAST property on physical frag pins in the NGM properly. These properties are created when LUT4_l symbols are used.

This impacts both Cores and synthesis generated designs. The "LO" output of a LUT4 is a directive to the packer to internalize the route. Without the directive, the packer will fall into normal delay based packing. This could be a problem if the critical path is not the same as the longest path.



Solution 1:

This problem is fixed in the latest 2.1i Service Pack available at:
