12.3 PlanAhead- DRC errors when importing ports from HDL
描述
I import I/O ports into PlanAhead tool using File > import IO ports > From HDL. After I have imported the .ucf into planAhead, a DRC check is done.
DRC check gives several fatal errors as below
DRC error - Terminal is single ended but has an IO std of LVDS_25 which can only support differential
I do have correct buffers instantiated in the HDL, so why is this happening?
解决方案
This is a known limitation in PlanAhead software. When you import the ports using HDL, PlanAhead tool does not parse the rest of the HDL file to see if appropriate buffers were instantiated
Performing pin planning on a synthesized netlist gives the tools more context to perform DRC.
