Xilinx Design Constraints files (XDC) are TCL scripts, which define timing and physical constraints for the synthesis and implementation flow in Xilinx Vivado.

Xilinx Design Constraints files (XDC) are a Xilinx extended version of Synopsis Design Constraints files (SDC). XDC files are TCL scripts, which define timing and physical constraints for the synthesis and implementation flow in Xilinx Vivado. Prior to the XDC format, constraints were defined in User Constraint Files (UCF), which are not supported by Vivado.

How to estimate timing contraints for FPGAs?

I try to find out how to specify the timings restrictions in FPGA designs correctly (in .sdc/.xdc files). I know what setup and hold times mean. However: How do I find out, what timing constraints my external circuit has? What I hopefully understood…

Interfacing FPGA to an external chip and timing constraints

I have designed a system using Artix-7 FPGA on a custom board. The goal is to transfer 32-bit data to an external onboard chip whose data bus is an inout port. First, a little background: The external chip is driven by a 100MHz clock which is…

Quartus II - Can I include other files into a *.qsf file?

An Altera Quartus II project consists of one *.qpf and one or more *.qsf files. The qsf seems to be a TCL script like other EDA related settings and config files (e.g. xdc, sdc, ...). Is is possible to include other TCL scripts into the qsf? I don't…

Timing constraints for forwarded generated center-sampled clocks

Problem Description I am trying to figure out the "correct" way to constrain (in .xdc format - this is in Vivado) a forwarded source-synchronous clock that is generated (by division) from the system clock and center-sampled at the receiving module.…

Creating multiple Ring oscillators and placing them through Hard macro

I am trying to place multiple ring oscillators using XDC macros. I have been able to follow the steps on the video by Xilinx on XDC macros and it worked. However, I am facing errors and critical warnings when I am trying to run implementation even…

GTP constraint for TX and RX

i want to use example design of GTP transceiver for my ARTIX 7, everything is fine but in the constraint xdc file, i could not find the TX and RX constraint, this is my constraint file, i want to know what is the set_property LOC GTPE2_Channel_X0Y4…
