Occasional ContributorQuartus 19.2 issue placing IO PLL clock pins for HBM2
Hi,
I'd like to place the reference clock pins for the IO PLL for both HBM2s available on Stratix 10 1SM16BEU2F55E2VG.
I have assigned the reference clock for top HBM2 to PIN_BA35 and for bottom HBM2 PIN_U35.
I have connect the input port directly to my QSYS system where the HBM2s are instantiated - is this maybe invalid?
In .qsf file the settings are applied as in the HBM2 example design provided by Intel:
set_location_assignment PIN_BA35 -to hbm2_pll_bottom_refclk_i
set_location_assignment PIN_U35 -to hbm2_pll_top_refclk_i
set_instance_assignment -name IO_STANDARD LVDS -to hbm2_pll_bottom_refclk_i -entity hbm2_toplevel
set_instance_assignment -name INPUT_TERMINATION DIFFERENTIAL -to hbm2_pll_bottom_refclk_i -entity hbm2_toplevel
set_instance_assignment -name IO_STANDARD LVDS -to hbm2_pll_top_refclk_i -entity hbm2_toplevel
set_instance_assignment -name INPUT_TERMINATION DIFFERENTIAL -to hbm2_pll_top_refclk_i -entity hbm2_toplevel
I receive the following error in Fitter Plan stage:
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.

Do you have any hint how to solve this error?
Are those pins valid for IO PLL used for HBM2?
Best regards,

Hi Michael
BA35 and U35 is reference clock for eSRAM. Please check the pin out file for the UIB_PLL_REF_CLK pin locaton for HBM2 pll_ref_clk
Here is the pin placement guideline for HBM2 pll_ref_clk pin
Place this reference clock input on the
UIB_PLL_REF_CLK_00 pins while using
the HBM2 device on the bottom of the
FPGA, or the UIB_PLL_REF_CLK_01
pins while using the HBM2 on the top
of the FPGA.
