two I/O markers on the same wire

Nov 29, 2004 4 Replies

I use xilinx shematic editor. On a wire i trying to place two I/O markers (same name ?), but the editor say : "Error : net 'xxx' is already a port with a polarity value 'output' "



I want do this for wiring facility on the uper level schema.


Any solution ?


Thanks

think! (sometimes helps)

add a dummy buffer to split the wire before connecting to iopad/marker

I had thought of that but i was not on that would not have perverse effects (i debute with FPGA).

Thanks for your help.

It will have no effect. The synthesis just gets rid of anything that doesn't affect the final outputs of the logic.

Quartus has a logic device that looks like a buffer, but is called a wire. It separtes markers so one can connect wires with different names.

But yes, for FPGA synthesis you will find that even inverters disappear into the input of the next CLB, or the output of the previous one. A chain of inverters cannot be used for delay without special indication for the software not to optimize them away.
