When using debug infrastructure, such as ILA or VIO IP, Vivado provides additional connectivity 'under the hood'. This includes connecting these debug IP to a debug_hub IP core and connecting that core to the CIPS / PS via a NoC connection. Although unlikely, it is possible that the presence of this NoC connection might negatively impact the NoC compiler in finding a solution. If this is suspected, check if this particular NoC route (an AXI4-Stream NSU) is causing the NoC compiler to fail, and if so, remove it so see if the problem resolves. Do this after opt_design runs, as the debug paths are added in this stage.
