Unconnected Ports - Weddick - 2005-11-23 22:35:00

When using a xilinx DCM, I receive the following
warning -
Xst:753 - ... Unconnected output port 'CLK2X' of component 'DCM'.

Is there someway to let XST know that I dont want anything connected to that 
port.  There is about 6 ports on the DCM that I don't intend to use.



Thanks,

Joel

Just translate "warning" as
"reminder" or "observation", if that gives
you more mental peace.

I think that all software that generates warnings should have some way
to say "Thank you, I thought about that one."  The main goal is to
preserve the signal/noise ratio.  If I have to ignore too many warnings
I won't be able to find the important ones.

Definitely, even better if it can be done on a line-by-line (enclose 
statements in a compiler directive) or at least file-by-file basis, much 
like it can be done in most decent C compilers (and MSVC as well).

I guess it becomes more difficult for the latter stages of synthesis 
when the 'code' bears little resemblance to the originating source?!?

Mark

Yes, it's annoying. 'port => open' doesn't suppress the warning.
