Hi Mircea,


Sorry for the delay. I might have overlooked the email notification on the latest post. For your information, we should follow the pin connection guidelines where the unused GXB_RX should be grounded.


As I understand it, the .pin file seems to serve as input to your schematic tool. As a workaround, to allow you to proceed, I would recommend you to perform a diff between the Q19.2 pin file vs Q20.3 pin file. Then you replace the the unused GXB_RX from "GXB_NC" to "GXB_GND*" in the Q20.3 pin file.


I will file a case to Factory highlighting this for future Quartus fix.


Please let me know if there is any concern. Thank you.


Best regards,
