2.1i Virtex-E Map - Map outputs incorrect message when processing invalid Virtex LOC constraints.


Record #8572

Product Part: map

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:

2.1i Virtex-E Map - Map outputs incorrect message when processing invalid Virtex LOC constraints.



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
The Virtex-E parts have eight DLLs rather than the four found
in Virtex parts. The site names for the Virtex-E DLLs have the
naming convention DLL1P and DLL1S rather that DLL1 seen
in Virtex parts, so DLL locate constraints must be modified before
a Virtex design is re-targeted to Virtex-E.

If an invalid DLL LOC constraint is used, map prints an incorrect
message to the report file and ignores the constraint. The message
looks like this:

WARNING:xvkpc:2 - PROHIBIT site "DLL1" does not match any site in this package.



Solution 1:

This problem can be avoided by using the correct DLL site names for the LOC constraints.
