Found area constraint ratio of 70 (+ 5) on block fpga_hm, actual<br />

ratio is 64.<br />

Optimizing block to meet ratio 70 (+ 5) of 1536 slices :<br />

WARNING:Xst - Area constraint could not be met for block ,<br />

final ratio is 94<br />

Note "(+5)" stands for the max margin of the area constraint. This<br />

means that if area constraint is not met, but the difference between<br />

the requested area and obtained area during area optimization is less<br />

or equal then 5%, then XST will run timing optimization taking into<br />

account achieved area, not exceeding it.<br />

In the following example the area was requested as 55%. XST<br />

achieved only 60%. But taking into account that the difference<br />
