Error: Fitter was not able to process memory blocks within the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller (alt_xcvr_reconfig) connected to a XCVR PHY IP containing component Avalon Memory Map block <Avalon Memory Map block name>.

Description

Quartus II Incremental Compilation in the Quartus II software version 11.0 has some limitations regarding the merging and processing of RAMs into RAM blocks. If your design includes post-fit partition that contains a Transceiver Reconfiguration Block (alt_xcvr_reconfig) connected to a Transceiver PHY IP core and that Transceiver PHY IP core contains an Avalon Memory Map block, Place and Route might fail with an error similar to the following:

Error: Fitter was not able to process memory blocks within the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller (alt_xcvr_reconfig) connected to a XCVR PHY IP containing component Avalon Memory Map block <Avalon Memory Map block name>.

Resolution

Ensure that the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller is not placed in a post-fit Quartus II Incremental Compilation partition.
