Timing Constraint on SoC HPS Memory

[JLee25]

Hi,

I am having a question on HPS side memory controller.

The timing analyzer complain the timing issue of HPS memory DQS signals.

But from the message I received, all the HPS peripherals like USB, I2C clocks and memory controller need not doing any timing constraint as they are hard coded.

And Quartus will handle it automatically.

Is it correct?

I don't care any timing complaints on HPS side.

Please let me know.

Thank you!

BRs,

Hi Johnson,

Firstly, may I know which Quartus version and SoC device are you currently working on?

Is it possible for you to share the message that you are seeing or screenshot? Which ever is easy for you, so that I can check what type of message is to be ignored.

Yes, timing constraints are fixed for both dedicated HPS I/Os for Cyclone V SoC and Arria 10 SoC you do not need to define it.

You may refer below for more information regarding the timing constraints on our SoC devices (refer Table 7 on both links )

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back!

I am using Quartus 16.0.2 and the device is 5CSXFC2C6U23C8.

Below are Setup and hold time violation message.

Thank you!

Hi Johnson,

I believe the screenshot are the timing compilation report.

Warnings report can be seen at the bottom of the screen, e.g:

Warning (332174): .....

Warning (332174): ....

Hi Johnson,

Thanks.

Yes, as you mentioned these timing analyzer warnings can be ignored.

Best Regards.
