AVSPI Core Attributes Failure
In one of the AVSPI core files, spiphyslave.v, are several set_false_path attributes that are causing several warnings such as the following, during Compile:
/*local reg for shift register*/
(* altera_attribute = {"-name SDC_STATEMENT \"set_false_path -from [get_pins -no_case -compatibility_mode *SPIPhy_altera_avalon_st_idle_inserter|received_esc*|*] -to [get_pins -no_case -compatibility_mode *|rdshiftreg*|*]\" "} *) reg [7:0] rdshiftreg;
Warning (332049): Ignored set_false_path at qfit2_legacy_fmain_fitter_flow.tcl(117): Argument <from> is an empty collection
Info (332050): run_legacy_fitter_flow
Since this is down inside a Quartus IP, is there a recommended way to handle this?
For example, should the core file(s) be modified by commenting out the failing set_false_path constraints and replace with corresponding SDC file constraints? This seems like a stretch, modifying a tool-generated core. Is there a more suitable solution?
Thank you.

HI KhaiY,
I tried the constraint you proivded, replaceing the original in the hdl file with the one you sent, as follows:
/*(* altera_attribute = {"-name SDC_STATEMENT \"set_false_path -from [get_pins -no_case -compatibility_mode *SPIPhy_altera_avalon_st_idle_inserter|received_esc*|*] -to [get_pins -no_case -compatibility_mode *|rdshiftreg*|*]\" "} *) reg [7:0] rdshiftreg; */
(* altera_attribute = {"-name SDC_STATEMENT \"set_false_path -from [get_pins *] -to [get_pins -no_case -compatibility_mode *|rdshiftreg*|*];
That produced a syntax error so I guess there is some syntax differences between the original and the new one that I have not done correctly?
Thank you again for your time and help.

Hi,
Did you upgrade the IP? It is regenerated automatically without the RTL modification.
Thanks.
