Hardware Debugger M1.3: Display Signals window displays all "tied" signals.
Description
Keywords: debug, signals, display, tie
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
When using the Hardware Debugger on designs that have been "tied" by the Bitgen Tie option, the Display Signals window displays all the tie signals created in the design to tie all the unused interconnect of the device. Tie signals are not user design signals and should not be used for debugging purposes. Though the Display window does have a filter for displaying signals, currently there is no negative sense switch to remove certain signals from being displayed.
Solution
All "tied" signal names begin with '$TIE', and all of the user created design related signals are displayed after the "tied" signals. To locate user signals scroll to the bottom of the list.
