17 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi everyone, i have a problem with a small example configuration of a Nios II System using DDR. I use quartus 8.1 full license. I get fitting errors which tell me the following: ----------------------- Error: Can't place pin ddr_mem_dqs[1] to location T8 Error: Can't place VREF pin T6 (VREFGROUP_B3_N0) for pin ddr_mem_dqs[1] of type bi-directional with SSTL-2 Class II I/O standard at location T8. Error: Too many output and bidirectional pins per VCCIO and ground pair in I/O bank 3 when the VREF pin T6 (VREFGROUP_B3_N0) is used on device EP3C25F324C6 -- no more than 9 output/bidirectional pins within 12 consecutive pads is allowed when voltage reference pins are driving in, but there are potentially 10 pins driving out. ----------------------- <snip> I was told by someone else, that this error occurs because of a pin that has been assigned twice. But i don't find any information about that! Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Best regards, Frank --- Quote End --- Frank, This can also occur when there are conflicting I/O Standards selected. In this case you have too many Output/BiDirectional pins on IOBANK 3. Mike
