M1.5i/2.1i: TRCE/Timing Analyzer: 0 paths analyzed for a TIMESPEC which should have paths


Record #2435

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: Timing Analyzer

Product Version: 1.4

Problem Title:
M1.5i/2.1i: TRCE/Timing Analyzer: 0 paths analyzed for a TIMESPEC which should have paths


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
The Timing Analyzer reports that it analyzed 0 paths for
a TIMESPEC which should apply to valid paths in the design.


Solution 1:

Generally there are three situations which cause this:

1- There are multiple timing constraints in the design which
overlap, some constraints will take precedence over others.

2- All of the paths covered by one constraint are also
covered by other, higher-priority constraints, the original
constraint is completely overridden. When this happens, the
Timing Analyzer reports 0 paths analyzed for that constraint.

3- The source or destinations are invalid.
