Problem Title:
Mentor: pld_men2edif gives: Error: An instance in a model references part
$LCA/spartanxl/vcc/part interface vcc... General 18
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
I have a design that was created in pld_da using A1.5i libraries, but I am
now using the 2.1i libraries. I opened he schematic up and was able to
view all the components so the next step I did since nothing changed in
my design was to run pld_men2edif, which gave me errors similiar to the
following:
// Error: An instance in a model references part $LCA/spartanxl/gnd/part
interface gnd which cannot have its pins mapped to the new superseding
interface (from: DDMS/EDDM/EDDM General 18)
// Error: An instance in a model references part $LCA/spartanxl/vcc/part
interface vcc which cannot have its pins mapped to the new superseding
interface (from: DDMS/EDDM/EDDM General 18)
Solution 1:
In the A1.5i library the vcc and gnd symbol pin names were
vcc and gnd, but now in 2.1i the pin names have changed
to P and G. So the schematic sheets that have any vcc or
gnd components must be updated by doing the following
from within pld_da:
1) Right-mouse-click in the pld_da session window. (The window
behind the schematic if the schematic is opened.) You may have to
resize the schematic window, or minimzie it.
2) Choose the Update Design option.
3) Either enter in the top level name in the "Enter Top level design name"
dialogue box, or use the Navigator button to select it.
4) Click on the "OK" button to proceed with updating the design.
5)Check the design.
6) Save the updated design.
7) Re-run pld_men2edif. This should finish without errors.
