When I select the FX70TFF1136 device, CORE Generator produces an example UCF for a design using two Integrated Blocks. As described below, there are some issues with this file.
Reference Clock
Depending on the number of blocks used or lane width selected, it might create a situation where a single input reference clock is clocking more than 7 GTX_DUALs. The ISE tools will let this pass; however, the input reference clock cannot clock more than 7 GTX_DUALs. The RocketIO GTX Transceiver User Guide, UG198 (v1.2), page 81, states the following:
NOTE: The following rules must be observed when sharing a reference clock to ensure that jitter
margins for high-speed designs are met:
1. The number of GTX_DUAL tiles above the sourcing GTX_DUAL tile must not exceed three.
2. The number of GTX_DUAL tiles below the sourcing GTX_DUAL tile must not exceed three.
3. The total number of GTX_DUAL tiles sourced by the external clock pin pair (MGTREFCLKN/MGTREFCLKP) must not exceed seven.
To work around this, add a new reference clock input pair.
Location Constraints
The x8 UCF does not contain valid constraints for the second instantiation of the Endpoint Block Plus core and they are commented out. The complete UCF constraints shown below include a secondary reference clock input. Note that you will need to add the secondary clock input and IBUF to the example design instantiation of the dual core design.
