ID:171007 Demoted location assignment <name> on embedded cell "<name>" to EAB location <name>

CAUSE: You edited the Quartus Prime Settings File (.qsf) for the current project outside of the Quartus Prime software, and assigned the specified embedded cell (EC) to a location within an Embedded Array Block (EAB). The Fitter demoted the assignment of the specified embedded cell to the EAB containing the embedded cell because location assignments cannot be made to embedded cells.

ACTION: To avoid receiving this message in the future, Intel recommends using the Assignment Editor to create and change assignments, rather than editing the QSF manually.
