Solved

generated clocks or derived clocks "... without an associated clock assignment"

During my first steps with simple example designs on an experiment board I often use a clock derived from a hardware clock (input pin) by simple division. Quartus then always recognizes the slower s...

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    The .sdc file was of course already in the Project. Otherwise, I would not have seen the critical warning(332049) for my malformed “create_generated_clock“ command, right?

    But I found the solution! Your mention of the "Timing Analyzer" made me re-read its manual, especially about the “create_generated_clock“ command! The command must be correctly stated for my example above:
    create_generated_clock -name any_name -source [get_ports {CLOCK_50}] -divide_by 128 [get_pins {I2CCLK[6]|q}]

    With this, the warning (332060) disappears and also the results of the "Timing Analyzer" become more plausible!

    Best regards,
    Jan

Hello Kenny, I had already marked my problem as solved (-> there was a button)? The solution for a warning (332060) is ( contrary to the recommendation of "sstrell") to insert a "create_generated_clock" command into the SDC file. The correct syntax can be generated with the "Timing Analyzer". I took your post of February 10 as an additional, final comment. Should I better have added a comment like: "Yes, I also copy-pasted the command from the command generator", in response to your comment? If I have unknowingly broken etiquette here, I apologize! I find a platform like this very useful and do not want to appear impolite at all. I think we can close this thread. Jan
