clock blocks and 4bit ports

Post by babazaroni »

Hello,

I just wanted to confirm, that there is no way that a 4bit ouput port can clock a clock block. I wanted the lsb ouput to clock the block, without having to feed it back into another port.

When an attempt is made to connect the out port to the block, an exception is generated.

I also want to confirm that a 4bit input port can clock a clock block, using the least significant bit of the port.

Thanks

Clock blocks can only be clocked by 1-bit ports, just like
ready inputs can only be 1-bit ports.

Thanks, I will forward this news to an Xmos FAE who shall remain nameless.
