JESD204B TI Reference design failed of timing under Vivado 2015.4

Last month, I downloaded the JESD204B TI Reference design from TI's website and built this reference design by running a single script under Vivado 2015.1. The synthesis and implementation were succeeded, and the bitstream is generated. There are no errors and critical warnings.

Recently I upgraded the Vivado version from 2015.1 to 2015.4. I openned the same project under Vivado 2015.4, and run synthesis and impelementation. However, this time there are 2 critical warnings after the implementation is completed.

It says:"

[Route 35-39] The design did not meet timing requirements. Please run report_timing_summary for detailed reports.
Resolution: Verify that the timing was met or had small violations at all previous steps (synthesis, placement, power_opt, and phys_opt). Run report_timing_summary and analyze individual timing paths.

[Timing 38-282] The design failed to meet the timing requirements. Please see the timing summary report for details on the timing violations.

"

I didn't modify the project which is generated by Vivado 2015.1. I just open it under Vivado 2015.4, upgraded the IPs and then run synthesis and implementation. 

Now I'm confused, these are no such critical warnings under Vivado 2015.1.

Could you please tell me why these critical warnings occurred under Vivado 2015.4?

I have asked this question in Xilinx forum, they suggested me to contact with TI.

Thanks,

  • Tong,

    This is definitely a Xilinx issue is it is in regards to their tool. I will try to get in touch with my Xilinx contact to see if we can resolve this issue.

  • Tong,

    Xilinx has informed me that to fix your issue, it would require a new build.

    The builds are released against a specific version of Vivado. You cannot know ahead of time what is coming in the future and retrospectively testing old builds upgrade to the latest version would amount to a large amount of work.

     

    Xilinx currently has no plans for a 2015.4 release of the 7 series HSDC pro reference design.

     

    I would suggest you either use the older version of Vivado, or work with your local Xilinx FAE to resolve your current issues.

    Regards,

    Jim 

  • Hi Jim,

    Thanks for you suggestion, I will use the older version of Vivado.
