I digged my previous answer and it was pretty clear here: 18:44 <krzk> You can, but I still have the same concerns. How this device - which does not take any clock input, has no clocks at all - can depend on spread spectrum of some PLLs? Thsi device does not have clocks. 18:50 <krzk> device has no clocks, I checked now third time 18:50 <krzk> If device has clocks, it must have clocks property So again, you do not need this property at all. I repeated it multiple times - you are supposed to use clocks property. > > 2. Why is this array flexible in size? > > Best regards, > Krzysztof > Best regards, Krzysztof
