After starting in an RTL Flow in the PlanAhead tool, when I remove thetop level HDL module and replace it with an EDIF top level module, XST fails.
Why is this happening?
If you created a project with RTL sources and try to replace the top_level with an EDIF file, synthesis fails with no messages.
If the top level source type of your design has changed, you need to create a new Netlist Project.
Improved messaging has been implemented in ISE Design Suite12.2.
