AR# 10645: 3.3i Foundation ISE Project Importer - LOC constraints applied to pads are ignored
AR# 10645
3.3i Foundation ISE Project Importer - LOC constraints applied to pads are ignored
Description
Keywords: ISE, Project Navigator, Importer
Urgency: Standard
General Description: LOC constraints placed on IPAD or OPAD will not be converted. This is because the IPAD components are not netlisted out by the Foundation VHDL netlister.
Solution
Before the importer is run, create a pin-locked UCF file by going to the Foundation Aldec Project Manager menu selection Tools-> Implementation->Lock Device Pins. You can then run ISE Import, but will need to manually copy the correct .ucf file after the program completes.
