General Description: A case has been seen in an Aldec design where registers driven by the following clock circuit:
CLKDLL.CLK2X--->BUFCF--->register clock pins
are silently removed by the mapper. No mention is made of the registers in the removed logic summary of the .mrp file.
Solution
This problem is related to the use of the BUFCF symbol in the netlist, which is interpreted as "use local interconnect." The packer incorrectly tries to internalize the register into the DLL and loses the register in the process.
A workaround is to modify the netlist by changing every occurrence of the string "BUFCF" to "BUF". No functionality is lost by this change.
This issue is currently being considered for a future service pack fix.
