Hi!
I have two desings here, both use the same generic processor interface which includes a DLL. The input pin for the DLL is constrained in the ucf-File:
NET "pciclk" TNM_NET = "clk"; TIMESPEC "TS_clk" = PERIOD "clk" 30.3 ns HIGH 50 %;
With ISE 8.1.02i this worked fine, the result looked something like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- TS_clk = PERIOD TIMEGRP "clk"| 30.300ns | 5.199ns | 1 | 25.101ns | 0
30.3 ns HIGH 50% | | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I upgraded to ISE 8.2.03i and the constraint is ignored:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- TS_clk = PERIOD TIMEGRP "clk"| N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A
30.3 ns HIGH 50% | | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------
No changes in the design were made. It is used on a Spartan3 and runs well in spite of the ignored constraint.
I've found, read and (I think) understood
I also found /Xilinx/doc/usenglish/books/docs/cgd/cgd.pdf but as I didn't understand it very well and what I did didn't tell me anything new.
Any hints what goes wrong here?
