ISE PACE Question

Oct 25, 2007 1 Replies

HI, I have a Xilinx ISE - PACE editor question-



I am using the schematic editor for now just to get familar with the tools and the fact I don't understand a HDL yet.



What Iam trying to do is very basic and I am just missing a step or setting somewhere most likely ...



To reproduce the issue - using ISE 9.2i (or 8.2i)


1) Start ISE project navigator
2) Create a new project called TESTPACE
3) TopLevel source is schematic
4) Family XC95000 CPLD, XC95108, PC84, -7, XST (VHDL/Verilog), MOdelsim XE Verilog, verilog
5) New Source, Schematic, name - top
6) Finish, next, finish
7) Add logic symbol - decoder d2_4e
8) Add7 i/o markers - Leave default names
9) Save top.sch
10) Run Assign package pins
11) UCF file is created message
12) Rreview I/O pins - all are visible and can be placed - close file

- don't save



13) Add second symbol - flip flop - fd
14) remove the i/o marker from D0 on the decoder and run a wire from D0 to C
15) Add I/o markers to D and Q
16) Save top.sch
17) Run Assign package pins
18) only D C and Q are available to be placed (Note why is C available to be placed on a pin when it is now only used internally.

Suggestions welcome.



Thanks



Glenn



One of the known bugs of recent ISE releases requires you to clean up the project (remove old object files). I don't use the schematic flow, but this sounds like one of those issues, i.e. remainders of the first build showing up when you run PACE.
