AR# 21018 7.1i Virtex-4 MAP - Post-MAP simulation problem affecting DSP48s

Urgency: Hot

General Description:

A problem has been found with the post-MAP simulation of DSP48s when the C0 pin is either connected to GND or disconnected.

Case 1: C0 connected to GND

- Regardless of the state of the rest of the C bus pins, the CEC, RSTC and entire C bus is disconnected. [We expect the CEC, RSTC and C bus to be disconnected only if the *entire* C bus is connected to GND.]

Case 2: C0 is disconnected

- Regardless of the state of the rest of the C bus pins, the CEC and RSTC pins are disconnected. [We expect the CEC and RSTC pins to be disconnected only if the *entire* C bus is disconnected.]

This problem has been fixed in the latest 7.1i Service Pack available at:

http://support.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_sw_updates_home.jsp
The first service pack containing the fix is 7.1i Service Pack 2.

Meanwhile, a tactical patch is available.
