Known Issues:

ISE Design Suite

• Hardware Validation Status:
  For more information on hardware validation, please contact Xilinx Technical Support by opening a WebCase at: http://www.xilinx.com/support/clearexpress/websupport.htm
• When the ChipScope tool is enabled for the example design, timing might not be met during the implementation process.
• (Xilinx Answer 47919) - Example design simulation fails when LCSBA is enabled and assigned it to a specific address
• (Xilinx Answer 50139) - 16-bit Device ID width not supported

Vivado Design Suite

• (Xilinx Answer 47411) Malformed SRIO Synthesis Netlist when Hierarchy is set to 'rebuilt'
• (Xilinx Answer 47744)IDLE2 Mode Not Supported
  Some configurations of the design may not meet timing.
• Hardware validation has not been performed. This release is a design tools release only, and should only be used for implementation and
  simulation analysis.
• ChipScope tool support has not been added under the Vivado design tools flow.
• (Xilinx Answer 47919) - Example design simulation fails when LCSBA is enabled and assigned to a specific address
• (Xilinx Answer 50139) - 16-bit Device ID width not supported
