You getting this error message because the Fitter could not place the specified node due to the specified illegal location assignment. This error can occur when you edit the .qsf manually, or when you make a location assignment, select a different target device for the current design, and select NO when you asked if you want to remove the location assignment. The location assignment is not supported for the new device.

To avoid this, you can remove the location assignment from the specified node, or click Yes when you are asked if you want to remove location assignments when selecting a different device.
