  Description: You can change the post-route preference file (.prf) by adding "INDUSTRIAL;" and "TEMPERATURE 85C;". Also at the same time the trace options can be updated in ispLEVER's Tools-> Trace Options or Lattice Diamond's Strategies->Place & ...

• 941 - Diamond: Timing: Why does the hold analysis use a different speed grade?

  Diamond: Timing: When running a Hold analysis the default speed grade run is the -M. The -M speed grade is the fastest device across a process and is usually the worst case for a hold analysis. Ideally when looking at a hold analysis the IO Timing ...
