How to report propagation delay from pin to pin with just combinational logic in between - How to report propagation delay from pin to pin with just combinational logic in between
The title basically says it all. If I have just combinational logic between two FPGA pins how can I report the propagation delay of that path in timing analyzer? "report_timing -from [get_ports {input_pin}] -to [get_ports {output_pin}]" results in the message "Report Timing: No setup paths were found" Am I doing something wrong or is there another way? Thanks!

Hi, This constraint could not be used for pin to pin, you have to use report_path instead. Please check the following chapter: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/manual/mnl_sdctmq.pdf#page=140 Regards.

That's not a constraint, it's a reporting command. OP should still be able to use report_timing. You have to have some constraints on the I/O. The best and easiest way to do this with with set_max_delay and set_min_delay. If the I/O show up as unconstrained in the unconstrained paths report, report_timing won't work. Once the I/O are constrained, report_timing as you mentioned should work.
