7 years agoInstantiating 2 JESD204B cores to interface with DACs. Fitter place errors on 8 TX : "Could not find path between source HSSI PMA Aux. block and the Transmitter channel."
The first DAC instantiated with no issues. The second generates the fitter errors. I am targeting an Arria V 5AGXFB3H4F35I3 with two 8 Lane unbonded JESD204B cores. The cores are on either side of th...

7 years agoHie,
I am suspecting this Fitter errors caused by incorrect Transmitter (Tx) channel placement in Pin Planner or Assignment Editor. For Arria V, we need to use one of the Tx channels as Tx PLL.
In a transceiver bank, either Ch1 or Ch4 can be selected as Tx PLL. Hence, for your device, there is twelve channels on one side. If all GXB_X0_CH1, GXB_X0_CH4 and GXB_X1_CH7, GXB_X1_CH10 is occupied, then this error could be observed.
Please change your Tx channel placement and check if the error is still observed.
