Hi,
I am implementing an OpenRISC processor on a DE0-CV board which features a Cyclone-V FPGA. I am using Quartus Prime v19.1 Standard Edition.
In my design I instantiate an Altera PLL in order to generate 2 clocks, one for the processor and one for the SDRAM controller and the on-board SDRAM. The Processor clock I want it to be 120 MHz, while the clock for the controller and the SDRAM I want it to be 100 MHz.
I see that after Compilation, I have many Reg-to-Reg Setup violations (negative slack) and at the Timing Analyzer, the "report_clock_fmax_summary" reports the following maximum frequencies for those 2 clocks:
clk_120 --> 77.14 MHz
clk_100 --> 91.14 MHz
Does anyone know how accurate are those Maximum frequencies? Is this the Maximum that the design at its current state can reach without changing it on this specific FPGA? Is there anything that can be done to push for higher frequencies without changing the design?
Any answers or sources for reading will be welcome.
Looking forward for your response.
Kind regards,
anm

Hi,
Yes. It is the frequency that the design can reach at this compilation. You may see a different value if you perform a seed sweep or change the compiler settings.
The value stated in Fmax summary reports potential fmax for every clock in the design, regardless of the user-specified clock periods. The "Note" column reports which analyses restricted fmax.
Thanks.
Best regards,
KhaiY

Hi KhaiY,
thank you for your response. Can you please how to perform a seed sweep? I guess this is an initial seed for the PnR that Quartus performs, right?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Kind regards,

Hi Nassos,
This video shows how to perform seed sweep using Design Space Explorer step by step.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cc74E3zaeI
You may specify how many seeds you want to run in the setting.
Thanks.
Best regards,
