Problem Title:
M1.5 Map - Map fatal error when IFDX output is fed back to OFDTX loc'd to same pad.


Problem Description:
FATAL_ERROR:x4kma:x4kmap.c:3087:1.151 - 0 flip-flop basic
elements found, at least 1 expected for CLB amcc_DQ_outff<31>.

The design has an IBUF, IFDX and OFDTX all LOC'd to P98.
The error is related to the fact that the IFDX ouput drives
the OFDTX input (see net configreg_1<31>). If I put a buffer
between this net and the OFDTX input, the design maps okay.



Solution 1:


The problem occurs when the STARTUP is connected to a pin of the OFDTX. The work-around is to inser t a buffer between the STARTUP and the OFDTX.




Solution 2:

This error has also been known to ocurr on designs with GSR nets from the STARTUP component driving the T pin of OFDTX symbols. The work around is to place a buffer
between the GSR net and the T pin.
