Why do I see functional problems in my clocked video input (cvi) module?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

You may see functional(hardware) problems for the CVI module for designs created using the Quartus® II software versions 13.0 and earlier as internal timing violations may be masked by an incorrect set_false_path constraint in the automatically generated sdc file.

The following incorrect set_false_path constraint cuts all timing withinn the fifo.

set_false_path -to [get_keepers {*alt_vipcti130_Vid2IS:*|alt_vipcti130_common_fifo:*}]

Resolution

This problem is resolved in the Quartus II software version 13.0SP1 where the constraint is replaced with the following specific false_path constraints:

set_false_path -from [get_registers {*alt_vipcti*_Vid2IS:*|*_common_fifo:*dcfifo*delayed_wrptr_g[*]}] -to [get_registers {*alt_vipcti*_Vid2IS:*|*_common_fifo:*dcfifo*rs_dgwp*}]
set_false_path -from [get_registers {*alt_vipcti*_Vid2IS:*|*_common_fifo:*dcfifo*rdptr_g[*]}] -to [get_registers {*alt_vipcti*_Vid2IS:*|*_common_fifo:*dcfifo*ws_dgrp*}]
