Usrp2 Fpga Synthesis Question - Ucf related

Hi,

I’ve recently started looking at the Spartan3 ISE projects.? I started
trying to re-synthesize the ISE projects, while using the “u2_rev3.ucf”
file, I realized that I had to enable the “Allow Unmatched LOC
Constraints” option, which seems okay since some declared signals might
be used.? However I also had to comment out the following signals from
it

#NET “clk_to_mac” TNM_NET = “clk_to_mac”;
#TIMESPEC “TS_clk_to_mac” = PERIOD “clk_to_mac” 8 ns HIGH 50 %;

#NET “clk_fpga_p” TNM_NET = “clk_fpga_p”;
#TIMESPEC “TS_clk_fpga_p” = PERIOD “clk_fpga_p” 10 ns HIGH 50 %;

#NET “cpld_clk” TNM_NET = “cpld_clk”;
#TIMESPEC “TS_cpld_clk” = PERIOD “cpld_clk” 40 ns HIGH 50 %;

#NET “GMII_RX_CLK” TNM_NET = “GMII_RX_CLK”;
#TIMESPEC “TS_GMII_RX_CLK” = PERIOD “GMII_RX_CLK” 8 ns HIGH 50 %;

#NET “ser_rx_clk” TNM_NET = “ser_rx_clk”;
#TIMESPEC “TS_ser_rx_clk” = PERIOD “ser_rx_clk” 10 ns HIGH 50 %;

#NET “cpld_clk” CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE = FALSE;

I looked for the signals to see if they’re used in any of the verilog
files, I saw them instantiated but never used I’m also assuming that the
“clk_fpga” signal is the main FPGA clock.? Since the signals I commented
out are clocks, did I just do something wrong and the project supposed
to synthesize without this modification.? Or are my change wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Al Fayez

You shouldn’t have to change anything. We build from the command line
using the Makefile in usrp2/fpga/top/u2_rev3/Makefile.
