4. RESOLVED ISSUES
4.1 ISE
- FIR Compiler v6.x - GUI may crash when Maximize_Dynamic_Range is selected
- CR 627620
- FIR Compiler v6.x - Reload port allows boolean type in System Generator
- CR 640607
- FIR Compiler v6.x - Custom column lengths ignored in System Generator for some core configurations
- CR 630639
- FIR Compiler v6.x - Latency information in the GUI doesn't match the core
- AR 40200
- CR 591161
- FIR Compiler v6.x : Multi-column filters will not map/place
- AR 40769
- CR 594220

- AR 42305
- CR 592301
- FIR Compiler v6.2 - Multi-Channel core data comes out on the wrong channel
- The output shift channels when using a multi-channel, interpolate by 2, odd number of symetrical coefficients,
with oversample rate of 3 with Block RAM selected for memory implementation

5. KNOWN ISSUES & LIMITATIONS
The following are known issues for this core at time of release:
5.1 ISE
1. Unsupported v5.0 features - The following features are not supported by v6.3:
- Distributed Arithmetic
- Polyphase filter bank
2. Memory collision errors - Netlist or UniSim structural model simulation may
report Block RAM memory collision errors. These errors are issued by the Block RAM
primitive when a write occurs and the read and write addresses match. However, a
read or write event is qualified by read enable or write enable respectively.
In operation, read and write events never occur to the same address at the same
time so functionality is not affected by these apparent collisions.
5.2 Vivado
1. As per 1. above for ISE.
2. Core may fail to compile in XSIM.
- CR667417
- AR50922
