The Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore function may have recovery timing violation. The failing path contains a global clock signal driven from the FPGA core logic.
The recovery timing violation may impact your design in hardware during reset condition.
This issue affects all designs using Arria V devices in version 13.0 of the Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore function.
You need to constrain the signal in the Quartus II software fitter from using a global clock (GCLK). Refer to the Quartus II software compilation report to find the right path for the affected reset path. For example, if the signal with the timing violation is the global reset altera_tse_reset_synhronizer_chain_out, use the following Quartus II software assignment to force the signal to not use a GCLK:
set_instance_assignment- name GLOBAL_SIGNAL OFF - to altera_tse_ps_pma:altera_tse_pcs_pma_instlaltera_tse_top_1000_base_x:altera_tse_top_1000_base_x_instlaltera_tse_reset_synchronizer:reset_sync_0laltera_tse_reset_synchronizer_chain_out
This issue will be fixed in a future version of the Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore function.
