Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place for ethernet 10G IP

[Altera_Forum]

hi,  

1. I generate one Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP with the mode "10GBASE-R Register Mode Example Design arria 10".  As the generated tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data pin in the IP's input/output is single-ended, I think I need to use a differential IO pin in my top design . so I insert one differential BUF for it before it is connected to the Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core.    fbm_ibuf_multichan u_fbm_ibuf_multichan (  .dout ( rx_serial_data ), // dout.export  .pad_in ( rx_serial_data_p ), // pad_in.export  .pad_in_b ( rx_serial_data_n ) // pad_in_b.export  ); fbm_obuf_multichan u_fbm_obuf_multichan  (  //input  .pad_out_b ( tx_serial_data_n ),  .pad_out ( tx_serial_data_p ),  .din ( tx_serial_data )  );  then tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data is connected to the Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core.  2. I am using DEVICE 10AX115U4F45I3SGE2 3. the pin assignments for tx_serial_data /rx_serial_data are: (BANK GXBL1E)  set_location_assignment PIN_AN42 -to tx_serial_data_p[0]  set_location_assignment PIN_AN38 -to rx_serial_data_p[0]     But I meet Error in the Fitter(as shown below) So my question is: 1) why the pin of tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data in the generated Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core is single-ended? 2) Is it correct to connect one differential BUF for it? 3) How to fix this error?     Error (175001): The Fitter cannot place 1 HSSI_PMA_TX_BUF.  Info (14596): Information about the failing component(s):  Info (175028): The HSSI_PMA_TX_BUF name(s): hft_ethernet_multichan:u_hft_ethernet_multichan|altera_eth_10g_mac_base_r_low_latency_wrap:packet_div_channels[0].i_u_altera_eth_10g_mac_base_r_low_latency_wrap|low_latency_baser:baser_inst|low_latency_baser_altera_xcvr_native_a10_161_dsfdwxi:xcvr_native_a10_0|twentynm_xcvr_native:g_xcvr_native_insts[0].twentynm_xcvr_native_inst|twentynm_xcvr_native_rev_20nm5es2:twentynm_xcvr_native_inst|twentynm_pma_rev_20nm5es2:inst_twentynm_pma|gen_twentynm_hssi_pma_tx_buf.inst_twentynm_hssi_pma_tx_buf  Error (16234): No legal location could be found out of 96 considered location(s).
