FLP-40001: Congested Placement Region

Description

High utilization, localized to a certain region, may lead to congestion and long routing detours having adverse impact on timing of critical nets in the region.

One or more of the following sub-optimal floorplanning decisions causes this condition:

  • Pin planning
  • Smaller Logic Lock region for the associated logic partition or partial reconfiguration (PR) partitions.
  • Incorrect placement of Logic Lock region.
  • Sub-optimal shape of Logic Lock region.

Parameter

Name Default Value Description
Region_Placement_Threshold 70%

Reports a violation for placement regions that have placement congestion higher than the value specified in this parameter.

Recommendation

Review whether the Logic Lock region is sufficiently large enough to contain the associated logic, or if it needs to be moved or reshaped to follow connectivity of the interface logic.
