I have a fairly trivial .sdc file which works with the following code: # Constrain the external FPGA clock from oscillator create_clock -period 20 -name clk [get_ports CLK]# Derive pll clocks ...

14 years agoAs I mentioned & declared previously, the code below DID WORK:
--- Quote Start --- # Constrain the external FPGA clock from oscillator create_clock -period 20 -name clk [get_ports CLK]# Derive pll clocks & clock uncertainty derive_pll_clocks derive_clock_uncertainty --- Quote End --- The code below (separate from the code above, in its own SDC file) did NOT WORK: --- Quote Start --- #-------------------------------------------------------# Constrain the Phase Locked Loop Master Clock = 50 MHz# ------------------------------------------------------- create_generated_clock -add -source Upll|altpll:altpll_component|PLL50_LOCK_altpll:aut o_generated|pll1|inclk[0] -name Upll|altpll:altpll_component|PLL50_LOCK_altpll:aut o_generated|pll1|clk[1] -master_clock clk [get_pins Upll|altpll:altpll_component|PLL50_LOCK_altpll:aut o_generated|pll1|clk[1]] --- Quote End --- What I am really after is this: is the whole instantiation path necessary? It appears that it is, but even with that, I still would not work. James
