Use

The device declaration is not used in Xilinx CPLD designs. The device declaration may be found in existing ABEL modules originally targeted for another PLD. If present, the device declaration should be removed before targeting a Xilinx CPLD.

The device declaration is used with other PLDs to associate the device name used in a module with an actual programmable logic device on which designs are implemented.
