AR# 40626 Spartan-6 FPGA Integrated Block for PCI Express - DRC Error During Simulation using Provided Root Port Model

Description

Version Found: 1.1; v2.1
Version Resolved and other Known Issues: See (Xilinx Answer 45702).

When using ISE 13.1 software or later to simulate the wrapper using the provided root port model, simulation will fail with the following error message:

DRC Error : Value of POWER_SAVE[4] should be set to 1'b1 for instance board.RP.rport.pcie_2_0_i.pcie_gt_i.gtx_v6_i.GTXD[0].GTX of GTXE1.

Solution


This error is caused by the Virtex-6 FPGA Root Port model that is used in simulation with the Spartan-6 FPGA endpoint wrapper. To fix this, edit the file gtx_wrapper_v6.v[hd]. This file is found in the core's generated directory: <core_name>/simulation/dsport

For Verilog change:

.POWER_SAVE(10'bxxxx10xxxx),

To

.POWER_SAVE(10'bxxxx11xxxx),

For VHDL change:

POWER_SAVE => "xxxx10xxxx",

To:

POWER_SAVE => "xxxx11xxxx",
