Hi Sheng,
thanks for your interest. What we see is expected behaviour according to above quoted 5.6.6.2.2. Guideline which requires refclock for SERDES RX being originated from a dedicated clock pin of same IO bank. Problem is that non-dedicated refclock source was possible in earlier Quartus versions and that it's strictly enforced by Quartus even for SERDES designs with rather uncritical clock speed. Previous statements suggested that this could be an unwanted effect, thus I verified that the behaviour is still present in latest Quartus Prime Pro 26.1. Error ID is 18694, as described in thread title. I append a test design with two SERDES instances located in bank 2F and 2G, both driven by bank 2F reference clock.

Hi Frank,
Please continue to use the INI to avoid the error. I had raised a new ticket to engineering team to fix this issue. Hopefully the problem will be fixed in future release.
