AX2000/RTAX2000S designs generated on v5.0 SP1 or earlier must
go through re-layout in Libero/Designer v5.1 before generating an AFM
file. If you want to keep the existing placement, run layout with incremental
fix placement.
26434 - In ProASIC and ProASICPLUS families, FIFO
Flags do not behave properly for the LEVEL signal. The LEVEL signal interpretation
is wrong in R1-2003. In simulation models, the value is one more than
it should be. This issue is resolved in Libero/Designer v5.0.
32047 – For AX designs only, the SDF back-annotated timing for
the BIBUF macro did not take into account the net delay on the data to
PAD path.
32842 – Using Windows/Chinese environment, Timer would crash using
the Paths function. This problem is resolved in v5.1.
