Occasional ContributorFitter Error with Quartus Prime 18.0 for HPS_CLK1
I use HPS_CLK1 as system clock , but can't assign it .
Here is the error message and my design.
=============================================
Error(14566): The Fitter cannot place 2 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (2 pin(s)). Fix the errors described in the submessages, and then rerun the Fitter. The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database may also contain articles with information on how to resolve this periphery placement failure. Review the errors and then visit the Knowledge Database at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/search.html and search for this specific error message number.
Error(175020): The Fitter cannot place logic pin that is part of gflish gflish in region (79, 120) to (79, 120), to which it is constrained, because there are no valid locations in the region for logic of this type.

Hi,
The error indicates that the specified logic was constrained to the specified region, but the Fitter cannot place the logic because there are no valid locations in this region for the specified logic. Coud you check the pin assignment for PIN_B16 and PIN_L14?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is an error while extracting the file. Could you create the design.qar by clicking on Project > Archive Project?
Extracting ip\gflish\gflish_intel_generic_serial_flash_interface_top_0\intel_generic_serial_flash_interface_csr_180\synth\intel_generic_serial_flash_interface_csr.sv

Thanks.

Hi,
I could not see the attachment for the QAR file. Could you reattach?
Thanks.

Hi,
How about my question ?
- scong4
it seems something wrong , send to you again.

Hi,
Upon checking, the error is caused by the incorrrect pin assignment. The I/O pin "clk_clk~CLUSTER" and "reset_reset~CLUSTER" are GPIO, but "B16" and "L14" has no GPIO resource. Could you reassign both pins to another location?
For example, clk_clk to PIN_AK9, reset_reset to PIN_U7
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you have any updates?
Thanks.

I set the clock to pin AL20 and reset to pin AK18 and passed the pin assignment , but this is not what I expect .
- KhaiChein_Y_Intel
Hi,
Could you explain what is the expectation?
Thanks.

I have a board , it only use HPS_CLK and HPS_RESET, no other clock input , so I think I can use HPS_CLK and HPS_RESET to do same thing.

Hi,
The error occured is due to the incorrect pin assignment. Once you change the pin location of the two pins, the error is gone. May I know what is the expectation?
Thanks.

Can I use HPS Clock to generate a clock and use this clock to drive my design ?
- KhaiChein_Y_Intel
Hi,
According to the User Guide, output clocks from HPS are not intended to be fed into PLLs in the FPGA. Therefore, you cannot use the HPS clock to generate a clock.
