Hello,

I'm using a 128 to 32 bit FIFO in my Altera Cyclone V SOC design.
Timequest shows a setup violation on 10 lines internal to this IP.
The "Launch Clock" and "Latch Clock" for the failing paths are the same.

However, for some reason I can't locate the failing paths in the RTL viewer.
As if they don't really exist...

What's going on?
 

They may not exist in the RTL viewer.
Try the technology map view.

It's not there either...
 

Start looking for blah, blah, blah, removed due to x, y, z begin static type stuff in the reports.

Or if you really want whatever it is to stick around start adding keep and preserve attributes to those signals.

Opps, I just noticed you aren't looking for paths you already know exist but are trying to find one that magically appears.

What does this path look like, can you find it in a netlist of the design?

Correct.

It's an ALTERA IP - a ratio changing (128 to 32 bits) FIFO.
The failing net is of a RAM block this FIFO uses.

Good idea, I'll look.

I suspect these are nets that have been optimized away - yet remain in TimeQuest due to a bug.
