Error: Can't assign node "<name_pll>" to any location (ID: 176359)

[Altera_Forum]

Has anybody came across this error? After hours of searching, I can't find anything on this. 

 I only get this error when I try to drive 8 or more register from one of the ALTPLL output.  Error: Can't assign node "name_altpll:auto_generated|wire_pll1_clk[0]" to any location (ID: 176359)

Hi, 

 Can post some part of your code? I have tried to drive 8 registers and it was without any error.  Best Regards, Anand Raj Shankar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)

My apologies, I meant 14 registers or more. I'm trying to drive 14 register with clk27M. Here is a snippet of the code with 4 registers; there are 14 registers using this clk in total. 

  PLL PLL(.inclk(clk50M), .c0(clkA), .c1(clkB), .c2(clkC), .c3(clkD), .locked(pll_lock));  reg [7:0] a = '0; always @ (posedge clkA) a = (some conditional statement) ? a + 1 : 0;  reg[31:0][7:0] b = '0; always @ (posedge clkA)  b[a[7:0]] = (some conditional statement) ? data : b[a[7:0]];  Thank you

My apologies, I meant 14 or more registers. I'm trying to drive 14 registers from the output of the ALTPLL with 27M and input of 50M.

I'm currently using the MAX10; the model I used have one PLL. Please see attachment. 

If I comment out any one of the 14 reg I created and compile, I have a successful compilation. It only gives me an error when I leave all 14 reg in.

Hello, 

 I didn't modify the .qsf file manually so I don't think this applies to my current error.
