Honored ContributorPLL cascading on Cyclone V - broken?
I'm trying to cascade 2 plls on the Cyclone V (5CEBA2F23C8). Both integer. I set the first to have a cascade_out and the 2nd to have adjpllin. Then I connect these.
Even with an otherwise empty project the fitter claims this does not fit in the device. The only other reference to adjpllin I can see on this forum is complaining of the same problem! http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44368&highlight=adjpllin. I had built it like the schematic in this thread. So is pll cascading broken in Cyclone V or is there a workaround? I've checked the device manual and it seems I am doing everything right - but it does not work. I tried upgrading quartus and the ip from 15.0 to 16.1 with no improvement. The actual errors I receive are as follows: Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place 2 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 PLL output counter(s), 1 fractional PLL(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.
