system bandwidth.

discontinued on eof and prevent entry to the buffer.
5. KNOWN ISSUES
The following are known issues for v5.5 of this core at time of release:
- NGDBuild errors when using ISE GUI unless XST Keep Hierarchy set to Soft
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#534514 / AR#33528 - Please reference the Answer Record for additional
information and recommendations.
- Virtex-4 FX 3.125G, 4x core may not meet timing.
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#506364 / AR#32195 - Please reference the Answer Record for additional
information and recommendations.
- Unable to traindown to x1 mode in Lane 2.
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#457109 / AR#30023 - Traindown in Lane 0 works successfully but the
Serial RapidIO endpoint is unable to traindown to Lane 2. The RocketIO
transceivers only allow traindown to the channel bonding master.
- Core reinitialization during error recovery causes recoverable protocol
error.
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#457885 / AR#30021 - This is an corner condition that could occur if
core is forced to reinitialize (i.e. - force_reinit) while it is in the
process of error recovery. If this condition occurs, packets will be
sent during recovery's quiet period. This situation is recoverable.
- Post-Synplicity synthesis implementation runs may exhibit ucf failures
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#447782 / AR#29522 - Synplicity generated net names are not
consistent with XST generated names and may not be consistent between
core types. The .ucf file must be edited in these failure cases. Please
reference the Serial RapidIO v5.1 web Release Notes for suggested work
around.
- PNA cause field may occasionally reflect a reserved value
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#436767 / AR#24982 - The cause field is for debug purposes only
and will not affect functionality. Occurrence is rare and requires
alignment of multiple control symbols.
- Control Symbols may be lost on reinit
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#436768 / AR#24970 - This is an unusual and ultimately recoverable
error. Set the "Additional Link Request Before Fatal" value on the
Physical Configuration page of the GUI to "4" in order to prevent a
lost Link Request or Link Response from causing the core to enter
the port error state.
- Logical Rx does not support core side stalls
- Version to be fixed : Fix Not Scheduled
- CR#436770 / AR#24968 - The rx buffer must provide packets to the
logical layer without buffer induced stall cycles. The buffer
reference design provided with the core is a store and forward
buffer and complies with this rule.
