Error ID 18694: Still not resolved ???

Hi Frank,

thanks for your note. So it appears that we are on one line.

We did forward the question to our FAE engineer here, still waiting for the reply.

Meanwhile, I found a workaround:

- I need to transform the global clock from bank 3B into a local clock for bank 2J

- I define a bidirectional LVCMOS IO buffer on one of the bank 2J dedicated clock pins, otherwise unused

- I route the global clock to the input of that bidir buffer

- I retrieve the local bank 2J clock from the output of that bidir buffer

- of course I need OE=1, but Quartus forbids that as a static assignment (!!!!)

- so I create some Mickey-Mouse logic which toggles OE at some irrelevant point in time

- works beautifully, even at 1360 Mbit/sec, 136 MHz clock at factor 10 SERDES. I do not need that high rates, but testing it out just for fun.

Best regards

John
