Required Constraints

This section defines the additional constraint requirements for the core. Constraints are provided with an Xilinx Design Constraints (XDC) file. The XDC file is provided with the HDL example design to give a starting point for constraints in your design.

Device, Package, and Speed Grade Selections

This section is not applicable for this IP core.

Clock Frequencies

drpclk_in should be specified using the following command:
create_clock -name drp_clk -period 10.000 [get_ports drpclk_in]
This constraint defines the frequency of drpclk_in that is supplied to DRP control logic and connected to DRPCLK of GT CHANNEL primitive.

Clock Management

This section is not applicable for this IP core.

Clock Placement

This section is not applicable for this IP core.

Banking

This section is not applicable for this IP core.

Transceiver Placement

The UHD-SDI GT core does not have the ability to constrain the transceiver. Constraining the txp, txn, rxp, and rxn ports of GTHE4_CHANNEL/GTYE4_CHANNEL is sufficient for transceiver placement.

I/O Standard and Placement

The UHD-SDI GT core generates clock constraints and necessary false path constraints. But it does not constrain GT locations and reference clock locations. See the respective board user guide or board schematics for LOC and add the constraints to the top level XDC file.
