Timing analysis of the HPS Ethernet interfaces via the FPGA is disabled by default. It can be enabled on Cyclone® V SoC and Arria® V SoC by following the steps below.
To enable timing analysis in the Quartus® Prime Standard edition software for HPS Ethernet interfaces via the FPGA add the following global assignment in the Quartus Settings File (.qsf) for your project
set_global_assignment -name ENABLE_HPS_INTERNAL_TIMING ON
Notes:
- Users must ensure the external interfaces on the FPGA are constrained
- For details on constraining RGMI Iinterfaces please see: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/intellectual-property/exm-tse-rgmii-phy.html
- This global assignment replaces the quartus.ini variable used in the RGMII and SGMII examples on Rocketboards.org
- From the Quartus II software version 15.1 QSYS will add constraints for the HPS EMAC to FPGA fabric interface.
This information is scheduled to be included in a future release of the Cyclone V SoC and Arria V SoC Technical Reference Manuals
