ABSTRACT:
A method of assigning I/O objects to banks of a target device can include concurrently assigning I/O objects, including select I/O objects and clock I/O objects, of the circuit design to I/O groups according to an I/O standard associated with each I/O object. Each I/O group can include only I/O objects of a same I/O standard. The method also can include establishing a plurality of linear constraints for regulating assignment of the I/O groups to banks of the target device. The linear constraints can include range constraints indicating I/O banks capable of hosting clock I/O objects. The method also can include defining mutual relationships among selected ones of the linear constraints. An indication as to whether a feasible solution exists for assignment of the I/O groups to banks of the target device can be provided by minimizing a linear objective function while observing the linear constraints and the mutual relationships.
