Hi there
i am using an old virtex FPGA. My design runs well in post place and routed functional simulation. However it does not on the FPGA and the SDF anotated simulation doesn't either. I get tons of setup violations regarding LUT and Block RAMs. I tried to constain harder like to 25ns whereas my clock period is 30ns but it wont work. The RAMs are not input and not output registered. I need them to be if possible. Why does the place and route tool does not notice that the RAM timing can not be met?
2nd problem: Right now the generate post place and route simulation tool fails. I get an error which i cannot solve: Release 6.3.03i - netgen G.38 Copyright (c) 1995-2004 Xilinx, Inc. All rights reserved.

any idea?
I am using ISE 6.3. SImulator is cadence ncsim.
Thank you so much iam quite desperate.
