Problems with TimeQuest constraints

I start Timequest timing analysis with constraints for a simple project, a NIOS-II processor, a PIO, an SPI and an SSRAM interface. Although I followed the Altera documentation of "Using SOPCBuilder with Quartus II Software" and "Constraining SOPC Builder Designs with TimeQuest", I get a few warning messages as follows. 

 

Info: Design is not fully constrained for setup requirements 

Info: Design is not fully constrained for hold requirements 

 

unconstrained path 

From To From clocks  

inst|the_pll|the_pll|altpll_component|pll|clk[2] sram_clk clkin 

 

Because the path between inst|the_pll|the_pll|altpll_component|pll|clk[2] and sram_clk are specified, I don't know why I get this warning message. I attach my project here. 

 

Help please, many thanks.

Hi bcao, 

 

I believe you can set it to false path with the following command unless specifc tCO/min tCO for the output port is required: 

set_false_path -to [get_ports sdram_clk]

Thanks, golgo 

 

I don't think that I can specify tCO/min tCO in the TimeQuest? 

 

Yes, I can by set_false_path -to [get_ports sdram_clk] to get rid of the warning message but the path to sram_clk is not a false path.
