| ## PCF format reference |
| |
| PCF files contain physical constraints and are specified using the `--pcf` argument. Each (non blank) line contains a command; lines beginning with `#` are comments. |
| |
| Two commands are supported: `set_io` and `set_frequency`. |
| |
| set_io [-nowarn] [-pullup yes|no] [-pullup_resistor 3P3K|6P8K|10K|100K] port pin |
| |
| Constrains named port `port` to package pin `pin`. `-nowarn` disables the warning if `port` does not exist. `-pullup yes` can be used to enable the built in pullup for all iCE40 devices. `-pullup_resistor` sets the pullup strength, and is available on iCE40 UltraPlus only. |
| |
| set_frequency net frequency |
| |
| Adds a clock constraint to a named net (any alias for the net can be used). `frequency` is in MHz. |
| |
| _Note that this is a non-standard extension, not supported by the vendor toolchain. It allows specifying clock constraints without needing the Python API._ |
