7.2.1.2 Abort Compile if errors are found in the physical design constraints

Controls the compile flow behavior if errors are encountered in the PDC file. Select this option to stop the flow if any error is reported in reading your PDC file. If you deselect this option, the tool skips errors when reading your PDC file and reports them as warnings. The default is ON.

This option is useful if you do not wish to debug your PDC commands before you run Compile.

Tip:
  • If there is a PDC command syntax error, the compile fails even if you deselect this option (for example, the command does not exist or the syntax of the command is incorrect)
  • Every time you invoke this dialog box, this option is reset to its default value ON. This is to ensure that your PDC file is correct.
  • Enable Single Event Transient mitigation (RTG4 only)

    Controls the mitigation of Single Event Transient (SET) in the FPGA fabric. When this box is checked, SET filters are turned on globally to help mitigate radiation-induced transients. By default, this box is unchecked.

  • Enable Design Separation Methodology

    Check this box if your design is for security and safety critical applications and you want to make your design’s individual subsystems (design blocks) separate and independent (in terms of physical layout and programming) to meet your design separation requirements. When checked, Libero generates a parameter file (MSVT.param) that details design blocks present in the design and the number of signals entering and leaving a design block. Microchip provides a separate tool, known as Microchip Separation Verification Tool (MSVT), which checks the final design place and route result against the MSVT.param file and determines whether the design separation meets your requirements.

  • Limit the number of displayed high fanout nets in compile report to

    The number of high fanout nets to be displayed is controlled using the Limit the number of displayed high fanout nets; the default value is 10. This means the top 10 nets with the highest fanout will appear in the Compile Report.
