[casper] one_Gbe timing errors

2016-09-23 Thread Mike Movius
Hi All, I have a Roach2 design using the one_Gbe yellow block. I intermittently have timing errors in this block seemingly unrelated to the design. Below is a TS_mac_rx_clk timing constraint failure. The FPGA is running at 125 MHz and approximately 50% of the resources are currently being utiliz

Hi Dave, thanks for this info. >> One thing you could try is to add even more delay stages so that you have >> more leftover after some get combined into the macrocells. That’s exactly what I did. If I understand correctly then the maximum pipeline depth of a DSP48 is four, above that all

Hi Jack, thanks for your help. >> You could always add your own constraint file using the "UCF" block. I have to admit, I’m not aware of a UCF block. Is that a Simulink block? We are using Simulink R2013a, I couldn’t find it in the browser. Thanks, cheers Guenter From: Jack Hick
