AR# 5066
1.5 4KX* PAR - INTERNAL_ERROR:x4kpl:x4kplanal.c:1730:1.73.3.2 - MACRO TYPE NOT FOUND.
Description
Keywords: F1.5i, par, INTERNAL_ERROR
Urgency: standard
General Description:
Macro with RLOC_ORIGIN attribute results in following error in par:
INTERNAL_ERROR:x4kpl:x4kplanal.c:1730:1.73.3.2 - MACRO TYPE NOT FOUND.
When RLOC_ORIGIN constraint is removed, par completes with no errors.
This problem is caused by locking a macro that contains a wrapping carry chain. The code that attempts to restrict the legal locations for the group can't handle both the wrapping carry chain and the lock.
Solution
Workaround is to remove the RLOC_ORIGIN attribute from design.
This issue has been addressed in version 2.1i of the software.
