SDRAM Controller SDC Constraints

When using SDRAM Controller are SDC Constraints relative to SDRAM needed?

Thank you

    Yeah, unfortunately the Altera SDRAM controller does not seem to create timing constraints like the DDR2/DDR3 IP core does.

    I wrote some constraints for the DE0-nano SDRAM that are also valid for the SDRAM used on some of the other Terasic DE-series boards.

    See the example design and SDC file posted in this thread;

    Thank you very much for the example. Altera should document better their ip-core.
