Honored ContributorThank you for the advice so far. I'm using the 5CGXFC5C6F27C7 device and I was trying to connect to pin E10 and E11. I'm not using any plls yet.
full errors below. I think the second error about plls is because I just tried to feed it with clock pin. Warning (18236): Number of processors has not been specified which may cause overloading on shared machines. Set the global assignment NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSORS in your QSF to an appropriate value for best performance. Info (20030): Parallel compilation is enabled and will use 4 of the 4 processors detected Info (119006): Selected device 5CGXFC5C6F27C7 for design "xxxFPGA" Info (21077): Low junction temperature is 0 degrees C Info (21077): High junction temperature is 85 degrees C Warning (21300): LOCKED port on the PLL is not properly connected on instance "projxxxFPGA:U0|LVDS_TX_7X8:U1|altlvds_tx:ALTLVDS_TX_component|LVDS_TX_7X8_lvds_tx1:auto_generated|pll_fclk". The LOCKED port on the PLL should be connected when the FBOUTCLK port is connected. Although it is unnecessary to connect the LOCKED signal, any logic driven off of an output clock of the PLL will not know when the PLL is locked and ready. Info (171003): Fitter is performing an Auto Fit compilation, which may decrease Fitter effort to reduce compilation time Warning (292013): Feature LogicLock is only available with a valid subscription license. You can purchase a software subscription to gain full access to this feature. Warning (15714): Some pins have incomplete I/O assignments. Refer to the I/O Assignment Warnings report for details Critical Warning (169085): No exact pin location assignment(s) for 10 pins of 14 total pins. For the list of pins please refer to the I/O Assignment Warnings table in the fitter report. Info (184025): 8 differential I/O pins do not have complementary pins. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pins. Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_CLK" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_CLK(n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[0]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[0](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[1]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[1](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[2]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[2](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[3]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[3](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[4]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[4](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[5]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[5](n)". Info (184026): differential I/O pin "LVDS_DAT[6]" does not have a complementary pin. As a result, the Fitter automatically creates the complementary pin "LVDS_DAT[6](n)". Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place 1 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 PLL LVDS output(s)). Fix the errors described in the submessages, and then rerun the Fitter. The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database may also contain articles with information on how to resolve this periphery placement failure. Review the errors and then visit the Knowledge Database at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/search.html and search for this specific error message number.
