Warning (176229): Can't pack node OEM_Prototype_Top_Level:TOP_LEVEL|TX_Signal_Path:TX_Signal_Path_inst|Stave_ADC_CTRL:IIU_ADC_CTRL_inst|LTC2380_CTRL:\CHANNEL:1:LTC2380_CTRL_INST|adc_sr[0] and I/O node IIU_MISO -- nodes have conflicting location assignments
Info (171110): Nodes could not be merged because their location constraints do not overlap

 

I am trying to force Quartus to use Fast Input Register on an input to my design using the Fast Input Register assignment. However, when I build my project I get the warnings in the code snippet. When I inspect the Resource Property Editor, I can see that Quartus has not used the IOB Fast Input Register.

Clearly there's something I'm not taking into account so how can I enable the Fast Input Register?

What are your inputs connecting to?  If they are connecting to some hard resource on the device that has its own input registers, then you have a conflict between the use of the registers in the I/O cell and the registers in the hard resource.

If not that, do you have other physical location constraints, like Logic Lock regions?

My input is connecting to a Shift Register instantiated using HDL.

There are no location constraints except for a pin assignment.
