Concept HDL - global signal shorted

DavidP
DavidP over 15 years ago

Hello,

I have the following problem:

In the schematic if I change from a power symbol  to a another one (like 2.5V to 1.5V). The Check routine returns me an error:

Severity : Error (HDL Direct)
Description : ERROR(SPCOHD-541): Global signal P2V5 is shorted with another global signal P1V5.
Two global signals can not be shorted.

If you want to short these global signals, add them in Allowed Global Shorts list in Design Entry HDL setup options.
 

In fact the signal attached to the wire can not be overwritten when the power symbol is changed, it keeps the old value.

Any Idea how to reset it ?

    Do you want (global) signals to be shorted and if that's the case, is your question how to make the error go away OR are you saying that you don't want the global signals shorted in which case your question is how to make the tool to not report this error?

    If you want global signals shorted (i.e. your design is good) then click Tools > Options > Output > specify the names of global signalsin Signal1 and Signal2 columns
