Occasional Contributorcreate falling edge virtual clock
Trying to understand to concept of virtual clock. A virtual clock is created from external clock but think that is created at rising edge. Both are 20MHz. How to create a virtual clock from SYCLK but at falling edge?
Believe the second line below creating the virtual as rising. Need to push it to go falling edge.
create_clock -name {SYSCLK} -period 50.000 -waveform { 0.000 25.00 } [get_ports {SYSCLK}]
create_clock -name {CLK20MHZSYS_ext} -period 50.000

Use the -waveform option to shift the clock:
create_clock -name {CLK20MHZSYS_ext} -period 50.000 -waveform {25 50}
If data is launched by the virtual clock on the falling edge, you add the -clock_fall option to your set_input_delay constraints.
GD76The virtual clock is 50ns period. This clock need to be inverted or shifted by 50ns for falling edge to gate data. The setup slack failing is for an output pin.

What I did that seem to solve the problem is : Take the 50ns clock invert at setup failing clock pins.
create_generated_clock -invert -source [get_ports {SYSCLK}] -name {DSACKCLK} [get_pins RAM_CONTROL:i13|q3|clk]

Tried something similar but using multicycle. Thanks.
