false paths in Actel flow

Mar 23, 2006 1 Replies

Hello all,


How do I set false-path constraints that follows the synthesis (Synplify 8.x) to PAR (Actel Designer) in Actel Libero?


I have named all my false paths to xxx_falsepath, then created two SDC files with


define_false_path -to {{*_falsepath}} # for synplify



and



set_false_path -through {*_falsepath} # for designer


but none seem to work.



Ideally, i would like to set a single (or maybe two) attribute in the VHDL code and have it follow the design all the way down to PAR, is that at all possible?


regards,



-Burns



Hello Burns,

Synplify generates an SDC file (xxx_sdc.sdc) that can be imported into Designer. So there is no need to create two different constraint files.

Initially, I would use the Synplify constraint editor to create the false path definitions. This way, you have valid constraints to start with.

Regards, Daniel
