* Connecting one of the clocks provided from the shell (clk_main_a0, clk_extra_a1, etc...) directly to a BUFG in the CL is not supported by the Xilinx tools and may result in a non-functional clock. To workaround this limitation, it is recommended to use an MMCM to feed the BUFG (clk_from_shell -> MMCM -> BUFG).
