Can we trust them, that the symbol is correct? Or should we check it 
once again ourselves maybe? In case you want to check the symbol, 
official pinout from Xilinx is here:

Fredrik, my work load is as usual. The problem is that we now have this 
"old woman's summer" weather in Russia, it's very warm during the day, 
but very cold in the morning and in the evening. I think, because of 
this contrast, I caught a cold last week, from which I have not fully 
recovered yet. I have some notes regarding our resonator/oscillator 
problem, that I cannot expound right now, because my brain is still not 
working as it should. I think, I'm going to miss skype call today and 
stay in bed, sorry.
