Board-level clock phase delay calculation in the fpga board?

Some DDR designs require a loop on the board equal to the average bus trace length and then use that to "measure" it.

In the Altera nios reference design in the cyclone kit,the sdram pll clock phase shift is -3.5ns. "This PLL introduces a phase-shift which compensates for board-level delays in the clock network.Other boards my require different settings." I don't know how to calculate the delays on my board. Could someone tell me the way to calculate the board-level delays?



Thanks and Regards
