-RELEASE NOTES
-=============
-This section lists any enhancements, resolved issues and outstanding
-known issues.
-
-
-1. General Core Design
- 1.1 Enhancements
- 1.1.1 Error Correction Checking (ECC) feature support for
- Virtex-5 block RAM FIFO configurations
-
- 1.1.2 Full range data count widths now supported for non-symmetric
- aspect ratio configurations
-
- 1.1.3 Option to define asynchronous reset value for full condition
- flags (FULL, ALMOST_FULL, PROG_FULL). Applies to block RAM,
- distributed RAM and shift RAM-based FIFO configurations only
-
- 1.1.4 Support added for use embedded output registers in block RAM
- FIFO configurations (Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 only)
-
- 1.2 Resolved Issues
- 1.2.1 Coregen GUI - For built-in FIFOs, GUI reports incorrect
- number of built-in FIFO primitives used.
- Change request: 4433738
-
- 1.2.2 Programmable full flag is always asserted even when FIFO is
- empty due to incorrect threshold setting.
- Change request: 435835
-
- 1.2.3 "ERROR:LIT:250 - Pins WEA0, WEA1, WEA2, WEA3 of RAMB16 symbol
- .. , these pins should be connected to the same signal" occur
- during MAP when targeting Virtex-4 and Virtex-5.
- Change request: 338260
-
- 1.2.4 Write Data Count and Read Data Count overestimate the number
- of words written or read when core is configured with this
- combination of options: First-Word-Fall-Through(FWFT),
- accurate data count using extra logic, non-symmetric port
- aspect ratio.
- Change request: 436886
-
- 1.2.5 SBITERR and DBITERR outputs are not driven in behavior
- models.
- Change request: 433637
-
- 1.2.6 Maximum programmable empty threshold negate value is
- incorrect.
- Change request: 433921
-
- 1.2.7 Programmable full flag behavior is incorrect when the
- core is configured with this combination of options:
- FWFT, non-symmetric port aspect ratio, single or
- multiple programmable full threshold input port.
- Change request: 435874
-
- 1.2.8 Programmable empty flag stuck high when the core is
- configured with this combination of options: block or
- distributed RAM FIFO, single or multiple programmable
- empty threshold input port.
- Change request: 443569
-
- 1.3 Outstanding Issues
- 1.3.1 "WARNING:Ngdbuild:452 - logical net
- 'u1/BU2/prog_*_thresh_assert<*>' has no driver" occur during
- NgdBuild although programmable empty or full is not selected.
- Warnings can be safely ignored.
- Change request: 431975
-
-2. General Simulation
- 2.1 Enhancements
- None at this time.
-
- 2.2 Resolved Issues
- None at this time.
-
- 2.3 Outstanding Issues
- 2.3.1 Ncelab warnings during Verilog structural and timing simulations
- in ncsim for Virtex5 Block RAM FIFOs.
- The simulations will be successful, but there will be warnings
- similar to the following in the log file: "memory index out of
- declared bounds" in simprims_ver_virtex5_source.v or
- unisims_ver_virtex5_source.v. Cadence does not want to fix this
- issue. These warning messages can safely be ignored.
- Change request: 423374, 423375
-
-3. Documentation
- 3.1 Enhancements
- 3.1.1 Added clarification on FIFO flag latency.
-
- 3.1.1 Added clarification on actual FIFO depth.
-
- 3.2 Resolved Issues
- None at this time.
-
- 3.3 Outstanding Issues
- None at this time.
