Hello,
Can the GXB pin be used as a pure high speed data line using 28GSPS NRZ without any protocol? for example, I wish to send 010010001010... out from one of the GXB differential pair, and the data code can be controlled by the verilog code.
When I compile the code with quartus, i get the following error info. I seems that i can not assign the GXB pin as a output pin?
Below is my code.
module m28GSPS(clk,rst,test);
input clk,rst;
output reg test;
always @(negedge rst or posedge clk)
begin
if(~rst)
begin
test <= 0;
end
else
begin
test <= 1;
end
end
endmodule
Below is the error
Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place 1 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 pin(s)). Fix the errors described in the submessages, and then rerun the Fitter. The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database may also contain articles with information on how to resolve this periphery placement failure. Review the errors and then visit the Knowledge Database at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/search.html and search for this specific error message number.
