2.1i Virtex Map - Map errors out due to invalid trimming of OBUFT control signal


Record #7731

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: map

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:

2.1i Virtex Map - Map errors out due to invalid trimming of OBUFT control signal


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Map incorrectly reports that OBUFT control pin is unconnected:

    FATAL_ERROR:xvkpu:xvkpuiob.c:1643:1.23 - Output buffer C535/OBUFT has an
    unconnected control pin. Process will terminate. To resolve this error,
    please consult the Answers Database at http://support.xilinx.com

The circuit involved looked like this:
LUT4--->LUT1--->OBUFT.T


Solution 1:

The error was prevented by using the following .ucf constraints on the
signal between the LUT4 and LUT4 to prevent the trimming:

    NET "PROC_READING_TOP<1>" S ;

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in the first major release (as yet unnamed) following version 2.1i. This release is currently scheduled for March, 2000.
