I actually didn't know that tool existed! I am trying to meet timing constraints, and I'm actually very close to do so, so I'm definitely gonna try smartxplorer. Thanks for the advise! Franco On 25/05/17 15:24, Michael D'Cruze wrote: Hi Franco, Just curious, but have you considered using

Hi Franco, Just curious, but have you considered using SmartXplorer to assist in getting your design to meet timing, if this is the eventual goal? Usually I find that with a medium or large design, if I can adjust the latencies in Simulink to get within a timing score of, say, 1, then

Hi Franco, 1) Yes, this is an optimization the tools have performed. If you dig into the Xilinx manuals you can probably find some options / UCF entries to turn off this type of optimization, or at least make it less aggressive. I don't use these enough to know exactly which ones you want, but
