I use soc to do apr, but It reported many violated. After read the report, I found it seems the soc encounter doesn't recognize the multicycle path constraint in dc script.

part of dc constrain
Code:
create_clock -name {CLK} -period 14.000000 \	
          waveform { 0.000000 7.000000 } [get_ports {clk}]     
set_input_delay -max 8.700000 -clock {CLK} [get_ports {da}]               
set_input_delay -min 7.000000 -clock {CLK} -add_delay \
           [get_ports{da}]    
set_multicycle_path 2 -setup -end    -from [get_clocks {CLK}] \
    -through [get_ports {da}] 
set_output_delay -max 8.000000 -clock {CLK} [get_ports {db}]              
set_output_delay -min 6.000000 -clock {CLK} -add_delay [get_ports {db}]

soc's report
Code:
Path #: 1

                                                         it said 1 cycle ????
