6.1i XST - What implementation (back-end) constraints does XST recognize?

Description

Keywords: constraints, implementation, back end, XST, 5.1i

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
What implementation constraints does XST recognize and pass on to the NGC file?

Solution

The User Guide does not contain an exhaustive list of back-end constraints that are supported by XST; please see the list below.

"NOVALUE": XST must write a constraint into the NGC file without any value.
"VALUE": XST must write a constraint into the NGC with a value specified in the HDL or constraint file.

For a complete description of the constraints listed below, please refer to the Constraints Guide, located at:
