Parent category: Violations Associated with Buses

Default report mode: 

Summary Copy Link Copied

This violation occurs when two net identifiers (port, net label, sheet entry, etc.,) connected to the same bus slice differ in their bus syntax – one defines a bus range in numeric format (e.g., A[0..2]), while the other defines the range in a generic format (e.g., A[0..b]).

Notification Copy Link Copied

If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog), an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. Hovering over the object will display a pop-up hint that summarizes the violation. A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Mismatched generic and numeric bus labeling on <NetName> <Level> value first and Generic

where:

• NetName is the name of the parent net to which the mismatched bus labeling is associated.
• Level depends on the numeric ordering for the net. If ascending (e.g., [0..2]) Level will appear as Low. If descending (e.g., [2..0]) Level will appear as High.

Recommendation for Resolution Copy Link Copied

With the violation selected in the Messages panel, use the Details region of the panel to cross-probe to the offending objects. Determine which of the objects is erroneous in its bus label specification and change it accordingly.
