11 years agofail to compile after assigned the SFP_TX_P1 of SFP+ module (arria V gx dev kit)
I want to use the SFP+ module which converts electric signal to optical signal to transmit some data.
I use the arria V gx dev kit. I assigned the data to pin PIN_W37 and select the i/o standard as "1.5-V PCML" in "pin planner". It automatically generates an output names "SFP_TX_P1(n)" as an differential pair. When compiling it keeps saying "Error (175020): Illegal constraint of pin to the region (0, 47) to (0, 47): no valid locations in region Info (175028): The pin name: SFP_TX_P1 Error (184016): There were not enough differential output pin locations available (1 location affected) Info (175029): pin containing PIN_W37 Info (175015): The I/O pad is constrained to the location PIN_W37 due to: User Location Constraints (PIN_W37)" could someone help to tell me what is the problem. appreciate~
