Error 170084 ADC & PLL

Given:

Quartus 14.1.1 build190

BeMicro Max 10

10M08DAF484

System clock on N14

Error (170084): Can't route signal "ADC06:inst|ADC06_altpll_0:altpll_0|ADC06_altpll_0_altpll_5q22:sd1|wire_pll7_clk[0]" to atom "ADC06:inst|ADC06_ADC:adc|altera_modular_adc_control:control_internal|fiftyfivenm_adcblock_top_wrapper:adc_inst|fiftyfivenm_adcblock_primitive_wrapper:adcblock_instance|primitive_instance"

ADC.qip is the only file in the project and it consists of Qsys IP "Altera Modular ADC core, Avalon ALTPLL and JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge.

I am having trouble compiling a the project using system clock on N14. If I compile the project on Clock pin N9 then compilation will complete without errors.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Mike

    I think that a PLL can have only one clock input. You have two clocks, thus you need two PLLs? It might also work with two QSYS clk input blocks.

    I found that if I inserted another ALTPLL between the N14 clock pin and the Qsys ADC symbol the project will compile.

    Why are two ALTPLL's required?
