create_clock –period 40ns snapshot_instance.core_y_tck
##### THIS snapshot_instance.core_y_tck IS AN INTERNAL ######
##### TEST CLOCK GENERATED INSIDE THE SNAPSHOT-MACRO ####
##### BLOCK. IT IS MANDATORY FOR THE USER TO #######
##### CONSTRAINT THIS CLOCK PROPERLY; OTHERWISE #######
##### SNAPSHOT-MACRO WILL NOT WORK ON THE BOARD ########

NOTES:
1. In ACE there is a Tap-Controller (JTAP) macro embedded inside which meets the
IEEE1149.1 JTAG standard. All the JTAG specific signals get automatically assigned
in ACE during back-end procedure. So that user does not need to assign any
constraints for these JTAG signals.
