Changing FCLK issue

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to change the FCLK_CLK0 clock from 100 MHz to 200/250 MHz. This clock is connected to an AXI Interconnect, AXI CDMA and a template-generated peripheral (Default AXI Memory mapped). The issue is that my program works at 100 MHZ (I can create a DMA transfer from peripheral to DDR Mem) but at 200/250Mhz, the CDMA reports transfer error.
The issue seems to be that somehow, EDK is not imposing a timing constraint on my peripheral to work at that frequency. I am saying this because in PlanAhead Project Summary, in the Implemented Timing section it says "All constraints were met. Maximum Frequency: 100.291 Mhz", which is odd.
Investigating further, I have noticed there is a file, ./cryptozed.srcs/sources_1/edk/system/implementation/system_processing_system7_0_wrapper.ncf, which has the following lines:
############################################################################
# Clock constraints                                                        #
############################################################################
NET FCLK_CLK0 TNM_NET = clk_fpga_0;
TIMESPEC TS_clk_fpga_0 = PERIOD clk_fpga_0 100000 kHz;

I'm using PlanAhead 14.4.1

Any ideas?

I really appreciate any help you can provide,
Nicolae Rosia.

    Given that this is a Xilinx tool issue, I suggest you also open a Xilinx WebCase in parallel with this forum posting.

    you can use another tools to edit the file----"system_processing_system7_0_wrapper.ncf",changed  100000 kHz to 200000 khz,then save and re-run your project.

    i have the same problem,and i cann't even run at 150MHz,how's yours?

    Reading through this again, I want to clarify.  I think the best and easiest way to change FCLK_CLK0 is to go all the way back to the Hardware platform and set it there.  You can modify the registers and do this in software, but then you may run into the problem where the entire system is not knowledgeable of the new clock setting.

     

    In PlanAhead, edit your embedded system.  In the Zynq tab, click on the Clock Generation block.  Expand the PL Fabric Clocks.  Change FCLK_CLK0 to your desired frequency.  Take note to see if the "Actual" matches your "Requested."  Next, click Validate Clocks.  Then click OK, then close XPS.
