NEXYS 3 frequency meter

destinyh · March 22, 2019

Hello everyone ?

I'm new to the programming industry and I'm currently working on a student project that aims to implement a frequncy meter in an FPGA card, I'm using nexys 3.

I found a code online as shown below and I tried to follow it exactly with changing the pins, but I keep receiving this error

the code is below :

Error found in mapping process, exiting...
Errors found during the mapping phase. Please see map report file for more
details. Output files will not be written.

thank you for kindly understant that I don't come for an electrnic background or anything related.

The problem is likely in the .ucf file where you define pin information.

The error message says device pin LL8 doesn't exist.

If you post the contents of your ucf, we can probably figure it out.

Hi @destinyh,

Welcome to the Digilent Forums!

I agree with @kwilber. The issue looks to be in the UCF file.

1) Please attach your UCF file as well.

2) Here is the Nexys 3 resource center which has the master UCF file available for download on the middle right of the resource center page.

best regards,

Jon
