Error (175001): Could not place HSSI_PMA_AUX <instance path&gt.sv_tx_pma_ch_inst|tx_pma_ch.tx_pma_buf.tx_pma_aux

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    PLL Reconfig Intel® FPGA IP
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

You may encounter this fitter error for Intel® Stratix® V GX or Stratix® V GT devices if you instantiate more than one instance of transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP in the same half-side of the device and they use different mgmt_clk_clk input sources.

The fitting error is due to an incorrect connection to the physical transceiver calibration blocks. There is a single physical Calibration Block in each quadrant of the device, controlled by the transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP.

Resolution

Transceiver Reconfiguration Controllers with a Calibration Block must have the same mgmt_clk_clk source.

Please refer to the "Calibration Block Boundary" chapter of the Intel® Stratix® V GX handbook. This may be found in the "Transceiver Architecture in Stratix V Devices" volume.
