Occasional ContributorHow to tell Quartus my Arria10 target system CLKUSR frequency is 100MHz?
Hi Steve,
Based on the response that I provided, you need not worry about the constraint on the pin for XCVRs.
As the Quartus is assuming a 125MHz frequency, it is basically constraining it to the maximum allowed frequency for the XCVR applications. If the timing analyzer reports that 125MHz is achieved, then 100MHz will definitely work.Regards,

Occasional ContributorHi Aqid
Thanks -- all understood -- my purpose is to identify why timing analyser reports CLKUSR at 125MHz when our design requires 100MHz -- and if there is a method to indicate to Quartus/Platform-Designer what CLKUSR frequency actually is or failing that if the incorrect CLKUSR frequency reported is in fact unimportant and can be ignored (our project does seem to mostly run as expected but there are some quirks which could be related to transceiver operation)

Hi Aqid
That was my hoped for situation and seems to be confirmed by seemingly normal operations on target -- my concern was 125MHz was required whereas target has 100MHz leading to possible marginal behaviour...
