Problem Title:
M1.5i/2.1i :Post Layout Timing Report: No skew warning given for internal clocks


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: TRCE/Timing Analyzer does not report skew by default.


Solution 1:

There are three ways for TRCE/Timing Analyzer to report clock skew.

1- Place a PERIOD constraint on the clock net. Clock skew is automatically reported with a PERIOD co nstraint.

2- Set the following environment variable:

XILINX_DOSKEWCHECK = 1

3- Run TRCE via the command line with the -skew option.
