12.1 Constraints - How do I lock (LOC) a specific instance to a particular SLICE?
Description
How do I LOC a specific instance to a particular SLICE?
For more information, please see (Xilinx Answer 2449), (Xilinx Answer 6662), and (Xilinx Answer 3753).
Solution
To resolve this issue, insert the following into the User Constraints File (UCF):
INST [instance] LOC=SLICE_XnYm;
Where:
- INST is the keyword used by M1 to attach an attribute or instance.
- [instance] is the instance reference. See the Libraries Guide for a list of valid instances (such as flip-flops, FMAPs, HMAPs).
- Xn is the row number.
- Ym is the column number.
For example:
INST U45 LOC=SLICE_X5Y2;
