F-tile PMA: Timing Analyzer shows tx_clkout != rx_clkout using System PLL

The FGT is configured using System PLL to have the same clock at the TX and RX.

The user guide says both clocks are same.

When using system PLL clocking mode, both tx_clkout and rx_clkout can clock tx_coreclk_in and rx_coreclk_in .

Both rx_clkout and tx_clkout are generated clocks.

 

Nevertheless, I get lots of CDC timing failures between endpoints crossing them.

Some of them come from the IP itself:

  • Are they really one unique clock?
  • Is it a bug that Quartus doesn't consider them as a single clock?
  • How about the missing constraints?
