ALT_LVDS timing fails for core clock

Hi, 

 

I'm using Quartus 13.1 with a Stratix IV GX dev kit. 

Trying to implement a simple test design for a 6 bit deserialiser using ALT_LVDS Rx. 

 

But I'm getting timing errors in a weird place. 

 

The register at the outputs of the LVDS_Rx megafunction. The slow clock.  

Timequest says the launch clock is the dast clock (480MHz). The latch clock is the slow clock (80MHz). 

And there are hold errors.  

 

I don't see why these exist. 

Is there something wrong with the way I am reading them? 

 

Its a simple design. 8 channels Lvds Rx with 6 bit deserialiser. Slow speeds. 

Feeds to a DC FIFO.. But I can't meet timing according to quartus.. 

 

Attached a couple of screenshots if it helps. 

 

Thanks

The reference design that came with it had it disabled? If so, could you file an SR or attach a link to the project? That should not be the case, and is cruel to figure out.

Yes. Submitted an SR.
