Virtex6 Clock Region View

The ADEPT Virtex6 clock region view (click on the snapshot below to see the full size picture) displays the clock region map with detailed information (clocking components, clock utilization, etc) about each clock region. The “CR” column shows the clock region XmYn coordinates. The number of used and total global clocks in a clock region is displayed in G:used/total format for each clock region.  If the number of used clocks exceeds the total global clocks in a clock region, it will be highlighted in red. This view also shows MMCMs, BUFGs, BUFIOs, BUFRs and MGTs in each clock region.

Virtex6 IO Bank View

The View->IO Bank View in ADEPT displays all IO banks in IO columns with  VCCO and DCI settings for each bank. It also prints a warning message at the end of the table that bitgen must be run with the .pcf file.

Depending on the device, there may be 3 or 4 IO columns displayed. The column header  indicates the IO column an IO bank is in:
  • OL = Outer Left
  • CL = Center Left
  • CR = Center Right
  • OR = Outer Right
The snapshot below shows the IO Bank View for a Virtex6 device.
