Two independent DDR2 HP controllers

Hi all,

I am running a project that requires high data bandwidth with external memory. Moreover, READ/WRITE ratio is nearly 1:1 and I'm looking for a very low-cost solution. I thus tried to implement two 16-bit wide DDR2 hp controllers (one for reading and one for writing simultaneously) on a small EP3C10F256C8. Modelsim-simulation and synthesis run well. But Fitter definitely fails with the following error : "Following nodes require the same Clock control Block" (one from the second controller and my main clock input).

If I choose a larger FPGA (EP3C16), everything works. However, following the compilation report summary, the EP3C10 should be enough.

Is it possible to assign the Clock control Block manually ? Or is it another solution to fit my EP3C10 ?

Thanks in advance
