On Xilinx devices, flip-flops are reset to their initial state with
an internal global reset network, but this network is deasserted
asynchronously to user clocks. Use BUFGCE and STARTUP to hold default
clock low until after GWE is deasserted.
Right now an array is expected in any _opts overrides, and if it is
actually a string (because it is passed via an environment variable,
usually), awkwardness results as each character is joined with ` `.
Fixes#130.
This adds the Clock() build DSL element, and adds a resource manager
function add_clock_constraint() that takes a Pin or a Signal.
Note that not all platforms, in particular not any nextpnr platforms
at the moment, can add constraints on arbitrary signals.
Fixes#86.
Although a dir="oe" pin is generally equivalent to dir="io" pin with
the i* signal(s) disconnected, they are not equivalent, because some
pins may not be able to support input buffers at all, either because
there are no input buffers, or because the input buffers are consumed
by some other resource.
E.g. this can happen on iCE40 when the input buffer is consumed by
a PLL.
This is necessary because on some platforms, like iCE40, extras
become parameters on an IO primitive, since the constraint file
format is not expressive enough for all of them.
