Hi
I have a design running on Cyclone III. My design is constrained and it works on physical hardware; but there are some errors in the output data processed and generated by FPGA. SO we have a working design which works on say 80 % of boards and is erroneous on 20 % of boards. Of course that you may say everything could cause this problem, but since this situation occurs when I generate an additional output I think it is not an issue with board. Timing failure is the most suspicious issue, but on other boards I have no problem with the same input data. This means that my timings are marginal and on some FPGAs this timing is met and on some others not. How can I do a pessimistic timing analysis, so that I would be sure that timing failure will never occur on any FPGA part despite process variations on different dies? Thanks
