ContributorHi
following template of create_generated_clock constraint:
create_generated_clock -name {<constraint name>} [get_pins {<pin name>}] -source [get_pins {<opin name>}] -divide_by {1} -multiply_by {1} -add -master_clock [get_clocks {cnvr_fpga_bt_clk_switch_out}]
What is the meaning of -master_clock [get_clocks {<clock name>}] in the create_generated_clock constraint?
Why do we need add it ? what it the function of this command ?
Super ContributorHi,
That -master_clock <clock> is to specify the clock of the source node check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683432/22-1/tcl_pkg_sdc_ver_1-5_cmd_create_generated_clock.html
Thanks,
Regards,
Sheng
Super ContributorIf there is the possibility of multiple clocks at the source node specified (perhaps through the use of -add), -master_clock lets you pick which clock to use as the source for this generated clock.
ContributorOK
If there is only 1 source clock , I shouldn't add the flag -master_clock
Thank you
Super ContributorNo, it's not needed.
