1)I found the Gclk pins of 8 in FPGA Spartan3,does it mean that we need to assign clock pins only to those.
2)Does there any order of selecting this Gclks or we can assign it to any GCLK,if my design as only one GCLK.

Regards,
Vinod Kumar.

Clock signals should be preferably feed to GCLK inputs, DCM blocks must be driven by a GCLK on the same chip side (top or bottom). For a standard design without extensive DCM usage and critical timing (e.g. with DDR RAM controller), a single arbitrary choosen GCLK should be sufficient, otherwise it may be meaningful to feed a top and bottom GCLK simultanously.
