4.1.35.44. report_asynch_cdc (::quartus::sta)

The following table displays information for the report_asynch_cdc Tcl command:

Tcl Package and Version	Belongs to ::quartus::sta
Syntax	`report_asynch_cdc [-h \| -help] [-long_help]` `[-append]` `[-asynch_clock]` `[-detail` <summary\|full> `]` `[-fall_from_clock` <names> `]` `[-fall_to_clock` <names> `]` `[-file` <name> `]` `[-from` <names> `]` `[-from_clock` <names> `]` `[-inter_clock]` `[-intra_clock]` `[-multi_bit_cdc]` `[-nentries` <number> `]` `[-panel_name` <name> `]` `[-reset_cdc]` `[-rise_from_clock` <names> `]` `[-rise_to_clock` <names> `]` `[-single_bit_cdc]` `[-stdout]` `[-to` <names> `]` `[-to_clock` <names> `]`
Arguments	`-h \| -help`		Short help
	`-long_help`		Long help with examples and possible return values
	`-append`		If output is sent to a file, this option appends the result to that file. Otherwise, the file is overwritten. This option is not supported for HTML files.
	`-asynch_clock`		Only report paths whose launch and latch clock do not share a common ancestor clock, or were explicitly marked as asynchronous via clock groups
	`-detail` <summary\|full>		Option to specify how much detail should be shown in the CDC report
	`-fall_from_clock` <names>		Valid source clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-fall_to_clock` <names>		Valid destination clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-file` <name>		Sends the results to an ASCII or HTML file. Depending on the extension
	`-from` <names>		Valid sources (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-from_clock` <names>		Valid source clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-inter_clock`		Only report paths whose launch and latch clock are different
	`-intra_clock`		Only report paths whose launch and latch clock are the same
	`-multi_bit_cdc`		Report multi-bit CDC topologies found in the design
	`-nentries` <number>		Display up to this number of entries per CDC topology. Only applicable in full detail mode
	`-panel_name` <name>		Sends the results to the panel and specifies the name of the new panel
	`-reset_cdc`		Report reset CDC topologies found in the design
	`-rise_from_clock` <names>		Valid source clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-rise_to_clock` <names>		Valid destination clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-single_bit_cdc`		Report single-bit CDC topologies found in the design
	`-stdout`		Send output to stdout, via messages. You only need to use this option if you have selected another output format, such as a file, and would also like to receive messages.
	`-to` <names>		Valid destinations (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
	`-to_clock` <names>		Valid destination clocks (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
Description	This report displays all Clock-Domain-Crossings (CDC) between asynchronous clocks in a design. The report can be directed to the Tcl console ("-stdout", default), a file ("-file"), the Timing Analyzer graphical user interface ("-panel_name"), or any combination of the three. By default, this command reports all CDC's in a design. You can limit the analysis performed by this command to specific CDC source and destination nodes, using the "-from" and "-to" options. The analysis can also be limited using clocks. Specify the CDC's source and destination clocks using the "-from_clock" and "-to_clock" options. Alternatively, specify edges of the clock using "-rise_from_clock", "-fall_from_clock", "-rise_to_clock", and "-fall_to_clock" options. To limit the report to only display specific categories of CDC's, use "-multi_bit_cdc" to report multi-bit CDC buses, "-single_bit_cdc" to report single-bit CDC synchronizers, and "-reset_cdc" to report asynchronous reset topologies. By default, all three CDC categories are reported. Use the "-nentries" option to limit the number of CDC's displayed per CDC topology type. The topology types fall into one of the three categories above. Run the report to see all the topology types that are supported. Use the "-detail" option to specify the desired level of reporting detail. "summary" generates a table listing only the number of CDC topologies recognized per category and the total number of crossings for that category. "full" reports every recognized CDC under each topology type, and is the default behaviour. In the full report, you can click on each individual CDC in the Timing Analyzer graphical user interface to view its statistics.
Example Usage	# Report all bus CDC's, up to 10 buses per CDC topology type report_asynch_cdc -buses -nentries 10 # Report all CDC's from clkA to clkB report_asynch_cdc -from_clock clkA -to_clock clkB # Report all synchronizer chains whose source node contains "transfer" report_asynch_cdc -from transfer -synch_chains
Return Value	Code Name	Code	String Return
	TCL_OK	0	INFO: Operation successful
	TCL_ERROR	1	ERROR: The current report cannot be run in XML mode. Use create_timing_netlist to create a non-XML timing netlist.
