Why do I get timing analysis warnings when compiling the IP Compiler for PCI Express on Stratix IV?

Description

When running timing analysis of the IP Compiler for PCI Express^® on Stratix^® IV, you will see warnings related to the auto-generated Synopsys Design Constraint (SDC) file.

Resolution

To resolve each timing analysis constraint warning, follow the workaround for the altera_pci_express.sdc file listed below.

[Warning]
Warning (332174): Ignored filter at altera_pci_express.sdc(14): *refclk_export could not be matched with a port or pin or register or keeper or net

[Workaround]
Change altera_pci_express.sdc line 14 from
                create_clock -period "100 MHz" -name {refclk_pci_express} {*refclk_export}
to
                create_clock -period "100 MHz" -name {refclk_pci_express} [get_ports PCIE_REFCLK]

[Warning]
Warning (332174): Ignored filter at altera_pci_express.sdc(18): *central_clk_div0* could not be matched with a clock
Warning (332174): Ignored filter at altera_pci_express.sdc(18): *_hssi_pcie_hip* could not be matched with a clock

[Workaround]
Change altera_pci_express.sdc line 18 from
                set_clock_groups -exclusive -group [get_clocks { *central_clk_div0* }] -group [get_clocks { *_hssi_pcie_hip* }]
to
                set_clock_groups -exclusive -group [get_clocks *central_clk_div0* ] -group [get_clocks  *_hssi_pcie_hip* ]

This issue will not be fixed in a future software release.
