FT601 on Cyclone V GX
« on: November 27, 2018, 02:11:06 PM »

Hi,
I am considering using the FT601 chip with Cyclone V GX FPGA. I have purchased the Cyclone V GX starter kit and UMFT601A USB3 kit. Now I am trying to synthesize the provided examples to be used with the kit on Quartus Prime ver 17. I have noticed that all the examples have timing constrains violations if synthesized for 7 speed grade FPGA which is installed on the GX kit.  I was only able to remove timing violations if I choose 6 speed grade chip, but it is not the chip which is used on the Altera/Intel kit.

Is there something wrong with the examples?

Thanks,
Alexey.

Hi,
Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I am aware of all those documents, my question was very simple, in both RTL examples provided:
1. https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/SuperSpeed/Altera_Dataloopback_Firmware.zip
2. https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/SuperSpeed/FT601/cyclonev_mst_fifo32_1.1.zip

there are issues with timing violations, the first one was synthesized for 5CGXFC5C6F27C6 while the FPGA kit has 5CGXFC5C6F27C7 and the second one only meets 87MHz max clock size while 100MHz clock is required.
How could it be?

Thanks,
Alexey.
