AR# 39656 Viretx-6 FPGA Integrated Block for PCI Express - Clock net TxOutClk_bufg is not constrained

Description

Version Found: v2.2
Version Resolved and other Known Issues: See (Xilinx Answer 45723).

An unconstrained path analysis with the Virtex-6 FPGA Integrated Block Wrapper for PCI Express shows clock "inst_pci/core_i/TxOutClk_bufg" is not constrained.

Solution

This is due to an issue with the ISE software not propagating the period constraint through the GTP onto the GTP TXOUCLK and impacts all core versions.

In order to fix this issue, add following constraint into your UCF file:

NET "core_i/TxOutClk_bufg" TNM_NET = "TXOUTCLKBUFG";
TIMESPEC "TS_TXOUTCLKBUFG" = PERIOD "TXOUTCLKBUFG" [100 125 250]MHz HIGH 50 %

Use the frequency that matches your input reference clock as selected in thewrapper customization process.

Note that the UCF already constrains the outputs of the MMCM to the appropriate frequencies.
