Description

You will see this error if the following general purpose IO LVDS input termination assignment is made to a transceiver pin location:
set_instance_assignment -name INPUT_TERMINATION "DIFFERENTIAL" -to <pin_name>

The Differential termination assignments are for general purpose inputs only.
