Problem Title:

2.1i 9500 Family Hitop: hi811 - Cannot assign Fastclock Pin D2_PAD to Pin 40 (FB1_1).


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
What does this error message mean?
hi811 - Cannot assign Fastclock Pin D2_PAD to Pin 40 (FB1_1). This pin
     does not support the functionality of that signal.


Solution 1:

For the 9500 family, if you want to use a global buffer, you need
to make sure that you use the appropriate pin. The last few pages
of the 9500 datasheet will have a section that describes which
pins have special functionality (global clock pins, global tristate
pins, global set/reset pins).

This error message appears when you have a global buffer locked to
a pin that does not support that feature.
