Powerplay Power Analyzer problem:

Hi,

I have a problem doing a power simulation with PowerPlay Power Analyzer Tool. I've a .vcd file generated by Modelsim-Altera. I get the following warning:

--- Quote Start ---

Warning: Node: iClk was determined to be a clock but was found without an associated clock assignment.

Warning: No clocks defined in design.

--- Quote End ---

And obviously, the power simulation is not good, it is giving me a 3mW Core Dynamic power.

So the question is, how do I tell the program that iClk is a clock?

Thanks!!!!

    I'm not sure this will help you but..

    That looks like an TimeQuest warning. Did you add timing constrain for that clock (that is, a create_clock/create_generated_clock command) ?

    If not, you should.
