Mixed Generic and Numeric Bus Labeling

This compiler hint appears 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]). The message is 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

Use the Compile Errors dialog to cross probe to the offending objects. Determine which of the objects is erroneous in its bus label specification and change it accordingly.

The use of Generics in bus names is not supported. Ensure that numeric values are used instead.
