14 years agoc) Of course. You need to constrain all clocks in your design, either external or internally generated.
Also, you may have to set I/O constrains for the DRAM interface. a) create_clock is for externally provided clocks; for internally generated clocks (by PLLs or logic), you should use the create_generated_clock command instead. However, for PLL generated clocks, just use the derive_pll_clocks command instead which does it all for you. b) One you set constraints for the PLL clocks, they'll show up in the reports. PS: The reason I asked about -add is that -add is meant when you need to set more than one clock constrain to the same target. I'm not sure what happens if you use -add in the very first clock constrain you set to a given target.
