Constraining the Core
This section contains information about constraining the core in the Vivado Design Suite.
Required Constraints
This section defines the constraint requirements for the core. Constraints are provided with
an XDC file. An XDC is provided with the HDL example design to give a starting point for
constraints for the user design. The following constraints are required.
Constraints specific to the core are applied by the Vivado® Design Suite. A hierarchical XDC
is applied to the core that will apply the necessary clock constraints. System-level
constraints such as DCLK frequency and Transceiver location should be applied in the user
XDC.
Clock Frequencies
A constraint specifying the frequency of the clock (156.25 MHz for 10G or 312.5 MHz for
20G) is already set in the hierarchical XDC file. This clock is being sourced from the
txoutclk
port of one of the transceivers inside the core.
DCLK clock must be provided and a constraint is required to specify its frequency:
create_clock -name dclk -period 20.000 [get_ports dclk]
