Generating Bitstreams

The bitstream generation program, bitgen, may issue DRC warnings when generating bitstreams for PCI-X designs. The number of these warnings varies depending on the configuration options used for the PCI-X core. Typically, these warnings are related to nets with no loads generated during trimming by the map program. Some of these nets are intentionally preserved by statements in the user constraints file.

Please be aware that the bitgen options provided with the example design are only for reference. The actual options used will depend on the desired FPGA configuration method and clock rate of your complete design, as implemented on a board. Please carefully consider the following configuration time requirements when selecting a configuration method and clock rate.

1.Any designs that do not automatically sense both the bus width and bus mode must be configured within (100 ms + 225 bus clocks) after the bus power rails become valid.

2.Any designs that must sense either the bus width or the bus mode must be configured within 100 ms after the bus power rails become valid.

3.Cardbus designs must be configured as quickly as possible after the bus power rails become valid.
