Powerplay Power Analyzer problem:

Hi, 

 

I have a problem doing a power simulation with PowerPlay Power Analyzer Tool. I've a .vcd file generated by Modelsim-Altera. I get the following warning: 

 

 

--- Quote Start ---  

Warning: Node: iClk was determined to be a clock but was found without an associated clock assignment. 

Warning: No clocks defined in design. 

--- Quote End ---  

 

 

 

And obviously, the power simulation is not good, it is giving me a 3mW Core Dynamic power. 

 

 

So the question is, how do I tell the program that iClk is a clock? 

 

 

Thanks!!!!

I'm not sure this will help you but..  

That looks like an TimeQuest warning. Did you add timing constrain for that clock (that is, a create_clock/create_generated_clock command) ? 

 

If not, you should.
