- This is DEFINITELY the way to do things, sweep the delays and find the right value. No f'ing way to get these stupid FPGAs to work otherwise with the ridiculuosly over margined PVT nubmers they are running through the STAs. I understand they want to make the design bullet proof, but as a result designers are wasting countless hours overoptimzinng designs and being clever. So much performance is left on the table for expert users.
- Lesson: I/O design should be "self syncrhonizing". Only contraints in the design should be create_clk
- Made RX clock async, too tricky to guarantee that there clock is there. No way to do this if the clock sources are actually independent for RX/TX!
-pll bypass for clocks (customer request)
-adding dividers on all clocks (tx/cclk)
-adding reset block (clearer)
-using commong clock_divider block
-need to clean up divider block later today, slightly broken:-)
