Weird DDR2 message "...also drives out to other destinations than buffer".

Hi, I've been banging my head against the wall for 2 days now trying to figure this one out. Here is the error that I get: 

 

Error: Illegal connection found on I/O input buffer primitive MEMORY:inst6|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0:the_mem_if_ddr2_emif_0|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0:p0|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0_controller_phy:controller_phy_inst|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0_memphy_top:memphy_top_inst|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0_memphy:umemphy|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0_new_io_pads:uio_pads|mem_if_ddr2_emif_0_p0_altdqdqs:dq_ddio.ubidir_dq_dqs|altdq_dqs2_ddio_3reg_stratixiii:altdq_dqs2_inst|strobe_in.

MEMORY.v is my top block, so I've changed all the input clk; declarations to inout clk; to make them bi-directional but that still hasn't worked. Does anyone have any ideas? 

 

Thanks

fwei, make sure the ddr3 clk signals are defined as inout, not output.

that also happens when you did not connect some pins to the Qsys object.... check if they all are connected.
