Hi all,
Should such software (simulink) features as subsystems and and gotos
have any affect on the final circuit created when I build my bof file?
I am compiling models on Roach I that use almost all of the available
Logic Slices (~97%). That the subsequent build should contain timing
errors is not a surprise, but I recently noted a change in my timing
errors that puzzled me.
I have assumed up till now that certain types of features in my model
are superficial, and will not change how the bof file is built. I
wanted to test this theory, and rebuilt my model after selecting part
of my model and turning it into a subsystem. I was surprised to see
that this new build had very different timing errors then the previous
one (from 18 errors to just 3).
Is it the subsystem that caused this change, or is another one of my
assumptions, that timing errors are deterministic and can be
reproduced with subsequent builds of identical models, false?
I've made a test of this, and indeed, I think my assumption is correct:
I get the same timing errors after two subsequent builds.
thanks
