説明

The SPI-4.2 Sink core using Static Alignment might fail to go into frame (i.e., SnkOof asserted indefinitely) during a timing-based simulation with Synopsys VCS.

ソリューション

To work around this problem, change the following DCM phase-shift in the UCF file: 

For Virtex-5 devices: 

INST "<top_instant_name>/U0/clk0/rdclk_dcm0" PHASE_SHIFT = 25; 

For Virtex-4 devices: 

INST "<top_instant_name>/U0/clk0/rdclk_dcm0" PHASE_SHIFT = 35; 

NOTE: The phase-shift setting provided with the SPI-4.2 core in the constraint file is only a place-holder and might not be approriate for hardware operation. For more information on Static Alignment, refer to the SPI-4.2 User Guide (UG153).

This is fixed in v9.2 of the Core released in 11.3
