Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place 2 periphery component(s) due to conflicts...

Hi,guys!

Today I am building a DDR4 project using the Arria10 EMIF Interface. When I configured the project for DDR4-2400R LRDIMM x72, I generated an example that contains two traffic generators, two Arria10 EMIF Interfaces, although I specified 1 DIMM in the settings. This is my first project with DDR4, so I connected the second LRDIMM to the emif_1_slave module.
When compiling, fitter indicates errors:
Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place 2 periphery component (s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 OCT calibration block (s), 1 REFCLK_GROUP (s)).
Error (175020): The Fitter cannot place logic OCT calibration block that is part of Arria 10 External Memory Interfaces ed_synth_altera_emif_180_kgljw4i in region (78, 168) to (78, 171), to which it is constrained, because there are no valid locations in the region for logic of this type.

Error (175022): The OCT calibration block could not be placed in any location to satisfy its connectivity requirements
Info (175021): The pin was placed in location N9
Info (175029): 1 location affected
Info (175029): TERMINATION_X78_Y168_N6
Please help me remove the error and understand why Quartus generated two traffic generators and two EMIF cores

The easiest answer is that probably the IP parameter editor was not set up correctly.  Can you share your EMIF parameter editor settings that led to the generation of this example design?

Yes.

These are the settings.

Hello,

can you please review the KDB :

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/component/2017/error--14566---the-fitter-cannot-place-1-periphery-component-s--.html

Let me know, if the work around resolves the issue.

Thanks

Thank you for the files. did you get a chance to review the KDB link i sent over and make changes in the design to check if that helps.

The IP parameter editor was configured incorrectly. I fixed it and it worked correctly.
