2 years agoSignal Tap files are usually placed in the project directory by default since there will not be an output_files directory if the project hasn't been compiled yet.
And now that I've gone into your output_files folder, there is another db and output_files folder in there! Your project is basically duplicated inside the output_files folder. I think this needs some cleanup.
And I see four .stp files there. Which one is causing problems?
Your .sdc file is missing timing constraints for the all the I/O except for the SRAM for some reason. You need to fully constrain the design and run a timing analysis to verify that the design is meeting timing. This could very well explain why Signal Tap is affecting functionality.
