PCIe Hardip going from x1-to-x4 Error "transmit_pcs0" has illegal fan-out

Hi all, 

 

I have a design with a PCIe HardIP in Stratix IV, both RootP and EndP which work fine as Gen-1, X1. 

Now I am trying to upgrade and go for Gen-1, X4 while keeping everything the same (125Mhz clock, 64Bit FIFO, etc.) 

So when I compile I get this error: 

 

error (15798): output port hiptxclkout of gxb transmitter channel pcs atom "transmit_pcs0" has illegal fan-out to input port pclkcentral of atom "pcie_mgwz_rp_plus:rp|pcie_mgwz_rp:rpmap|pcie_mgwz_rp_core:wrapper|altpcie_hip_pipen1b:altpcie_hip_pipen1b_inst|stratix_iv.stratixiv_hssi_pcie_hip". the output port can drive only port pclkch0 of hssi_pcie_hip atom 

error (15792): output port hiptxclkout of atom "transmit_pcs0" cannot drive multiple destinations. it must drive only one pclkch0 input port of hssi_pcie_hip atom  

 

This looks like an internal IP problem which is under the Wizard's control, no? 

 

Can you help? 

 

Thanks,

The solution is to simply delete the serdes BEFORE regenerating the new PCIe ! Altera Wizard does not do it...
