ID:12179 Instance "<name>" is not bound to a single entity in a specific library. Associate the specified instance with a single entity in a specific library. Ensure that each IP core in your design is compiled into its own library and that the .qsf refers only to .qip files, not any files listed in the .qip files. The Altera Knowledge Database contains many articles with specific details on how to resolve this error.

CAUSE: The specified instance in your design does not have a unique binding to a specific entity in your design libraries. You previously compiled more than one entity with the same name into different libraries. However, the specified instance does not bind itself to an entity in a specific library, or the specific library associated with the instance does not contain an entity with the correct name. This error can also occur when there is a conflict in the files generated for multiple IP cores.

ACTION: Consult the Quartus Prime Handbook for more information on associating an instance with an entity in a specific library. In the case of IP core file conflicts, be sure to compile each IP core into its own design library and that your Quartus Prime Settings File (.qsf) only calls out the .qip files for each IP core, do not include any of the files listed in the .qip file directly in the .qsf.
