FPGA Express: Unlinked modules when black box modules are instantiated. (FE-LINK-2)
描述
Keywords: FPGA Express, unlinked, black box, FE-LINK-2
Urgency: Standard
General Description After creating implementation in FPGA Express, the following warning will be produced if you have instantiated any black box modules in your design. Black boxes can be LogiBLOX or Coregen modules, or any other netlist that is not synthesized by Express.
Warning: Cannot link cell '...' to its reference design '...'. (FE-LINK-2)
This warning means that FPGA Express does not have access to the module that you have instatiated. It can not read the reference design for this module because it is a black box.
解决方案
As long as you supply a netlist (XNF, EDIF, NGC, NGO, etc.) for this module, these warnings can be safely ignored. NGDBUILD (the Translate phase) will merge these netlists with the top level netlist created by FPGA Express. If there are any discrepancies between pins, NGDBUILD will let you know.
