Hi,
I just started to use the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer to constraint a new VHDL design (EP3C16). I managed to constraint my clock and derived clocks. I have a process which is a state machine, where the states are changing based on some asynchronous IOs. When I compile my project, I end-up with 'Unconstrained Input/Output Ports'. I went through the tutorials and am still confused on how to constrained those. Let's say I have a state where I am waiting for an IO to go high to change to the next one (synchronous on the master clock). This input is coming from an external device Gumstix computer. How should I constraint that input port? Thank you for your help. Mathieu
