Honored ContributorI find most analysis is easier to do with the GUIs. Pulling it out in scripts tend to complicate things. Item 2) sounds better since it's more of a decision based on analysis, but my concern is with the flow. It's more of a "analyze what the timing is and make the RTL work that way", where timing analysis usually works the other way. In fact, by knowing your constraints, you know what all your delays can be and if it meets them. If you get negative slack, that immediately tells you how much you failed by. Just want to make sure you're not doing more work than necessary.
