Re: [partial-reconfig] Missing AREA_GROUP property for macro

[Lu Yi <yilu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Normally, before running your active phase ngdbuild, you should check your 
design files to meet following requirements:
1). make sure the RIGHT busmacro file is in your working folder, you can just 
copy that file in your module folder
2). make sure the name of your busmacro file(.nmc) is SAME as the component 
name in your top-level design. 
3). check your .ucf file, if you use floorplanner to constrain the area and 
assign your busmacro, you will find "area" constraints for your busmacro, for 
the partial design, you should delete it, check xapp290 for details. The only 
constraints for busmacro is "INST", you just need to constrain the reference 
component of your busmacro, for TBUF-based busmacro, set the reference TBUF 
to your required TBUF, for slice-based busmacro, set the reference slice to 
your required slice. 

Hope that helps. 

And if problems are still there, please attach your ucf file. 

Regards,
lu, yi
