XNFMERGE: Warning Unrecognized Property 'HDL_SOURCE' on symbol 'sym_name'
Description
During translation or implementation in the Xilinx Design Manager, you may encounter the following warning on a design which uses Foundation XVHDL.
[Warning] Unrecognized Property 'HDL_SOURCE' on symbol 'sym_name'
解决方案
When the VHDL design is synthesized into an XNF file, some symbols that are inferred by the XVHDL compiler are marked with a 'user property' indicating the line number in the VHDL code that inferred the symbol.
This indicates that this flip-flop was inferred from a process at line 25 of the file DESIGN.VHD. The "=" in front of HDL_SOURCE indicates that it is a "user property."
Essentially, this is a comment in the XNF file for the user's information. It is designed to be a way to understand where particular components in the XNF file were inferred from.
The warnings that are produced just mean that the Xilinx core tools don't know what this HDL_SOURCE property is. This is fine, as it isn't meant to give any information to the software. It is just for the user's information, and debugging purposes.
