FPGA Express: Warning: No global set/reset (GSR) net can be used in the design .. (FE-GSRMAP-8)
描述
Keywords: FE, GSRMAP-8 , global set / reset, GSR
Urgency: Standard
General Description When synthesizing a design using FPGA Express, the following warning may be issued:
Warning: No global set / reset (GSR) net could be used in the design because the design contains the unlinked cell '/<design>-Optimized/<module>'. (FE-GSRMAP-8)
This warning may occur when you instantiate a black box in your design. The black box can be a LogiBLOX or Coregen module, or any netlist that has not been read into the FPGA Express project. Because FPGA Express has no knowledge of the synchronous elements in the black box, it will be unable to determine if there is a single set/reset signal for the entire design, and will therefore not be able to infer the STARTUP module that will address the Global Set/Reset needs of the design.
解决方案
Two possible solutions exist.
The first is to instantiate the STARTUP module. Simply connect your global set/reset signal to the GSR pin of STARTUP, and Express will not have to worry about inferring this component. Note that you will still see the Express warning message when you do this, but the GSR will indeed be utilized. You can verify this by checking the map report.
The other option is to tell FPGA Express to ignore black boxes when inferring STARTUP. This is done under the Xilinx Options tab of the Express Constraints Editor. If you check the box next to "Ignore unlinked cells during GSR mapping", the FPGA Express will only worry about the set/reset signals connected to synchronous elements that it has access to.
