Warning: Timing-driven synthesis is skipped because there are multiple hierarchies in

When compiling my design i get the following warings.

Warning: Timing-driven synthesis is skipped because there are multiple hierarchies in the design

Warning: Timing-driven synthesis is skipped because it could not initialize the timing netlist

I think this is the reason I am getting some timing issues with my design.

What does it mean and how do I fix it.

All help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    looks strange. Are you using design partitions ? Is the SDC file in the project included?

    Which device are you using ?

    Kind regards

    Thanks for you reply.

    I am using a stratixIII device.

    I dont think the project has any design partitions but it has 4 SDC files, to cover different parts of the design.

    Hi,

    I forgot there is a similar thread in the forum :

    http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6117

    DrJohn issued a service request and got the answer that the problem could be caused by

    failing constraints in the SDC file. Have a look to the thread, maybe it helps. Otherwise I

    would recommend to issue a service request again.

    Kind regards
