question for Xilinx ppl

Hello all,

This issue has been here for a few times, so...

I was wondering if there is a progress with an issue of portability error during timing-driven packing and placement and when this fix is going to be released. Usually, I was able to manage without it, but now I have a design which is barely meeting the timing without it (it was previously doing good with it)

Thank you

Vladislav

Hi Vladislav,

with ISE7.1 SP3 I have seen the timing-driven p+p work on some designs. It even works on my own design, except when I use the option "register duplication" (-> results in that dreadful portability error). When I leave out all differential buffers in my design, it sudenly works. Unfortunately that's not really an option of course for my differential clock inputs :-(

What I'm trying to say : apparently there's lots of bad combinations that can trigger the portability error. My suggestion : just try it for your design. If it doesn't => open a webcase or contact your FAE, the more noise we make, the sooner it will get fixed (I hope).

best regards, Bart

Bart,

I am so sorry I forgot to add that I am using 7.1 SP3 and I am able to make timing driven PiP working by turning off "reg. dupl." :)

I was just wondering if there is a progress with it, as I have to pipeline parts of the design to meet timing.

I have opened a case and i was told that this is a known issue, so if i do not send my NGC/EDF, in 2 business days case closed --> completely understandable. Speaking about the noise... This is a noise!

Thanks!!!

Vladislav
