Hi All,
When doing multi-FPGA designs, what are some of the techniques that you us
to detect if you have mistakenly pin multiplexed a flowthru net? I a
specifically interested in the way which ISE can be used.
Thanks

You're going to have to give a few more details. I can think of a few
different cases where the term "pin multiplexed" might be used, and even
then I wouldn't like the term because of it's vagueness.
Same for "flowthru net". What's that? You made a point of indicating "multi-FPGA"
implying flowthru intra-, or inter-FPGA? And I really don't have a clue as to what
sort of problems you're trying to avoid/detect with the ISE tools.

Hi Mark,
I probably used the word "flowthru" a little loosely. Essentially
flowthru would be a net that does not qualify to be pin multiplexed. Addin
multiplexing logic in its path would lead to incorrect operation. Net
which are multi-cycle in nature are examples of signals that can be adde
to pin multiplexing logic when partitioning a design across multipl
FPGAs.
