Required Constraints
R
The following UCF syntax shows these constraints being applied.
#***********************************************************
# PCS/PMA Clock period Constraints: please do not relax *
#***********************************************************
NET "userclk2" TNM_NET = "userclk2";
TIMESPEC "TS_userclk2" = PERIOD "userclk2" 8 ns HIGH 50 %;
NET "dclk" TNM_NET = "dclk";
TIMESPEC "TS_dclk" = PERIOD "dclk" 20 ns HIGH 50 %;
Setting MGT Transceiver Attributes
The Virtex-4 MGT device has many attributes. These attributes are set directly from HDL
source code for the transceiver wrapper file delivered with the example design. These are
in the file
transceiver.vhd
(for VHDL design entry) or
transciever.v
(for Verilog
design entry). See the
Ethernet 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII Getting Started Guide
for a
detailed description of the example design provided with the core.
This HDL transceiver wrapper file was initially created using Architecture Wizard. See the
Virtex-4 FPGA RocketIO Multi-Gigabit Transceiver User Guide
(UG076)
for a description of
available attributes.
MGT Placement Constraints
The following UCF syntax illustrates the MGT placement contraints for the example
design. Because Virtex-4 MGTs are always available in pairs, two MGTs are always
instantiated in the example design, even if one is inactive.
