Error: Can't place output or bidirectional pin VGA_G[2] in input pin location A14 

 

Error: Can't place output or bidirectional pin VGA_G[1] in input pin location B14 

 

...etc 

 

I found that the problem only happend in using bidirection or outputon CLK pins. 

Is that means Clock pins can only use on input pins? 

By the way, I also want to know if I using CLK as input data,Bad? 

will Other pins do same problem?

Apparently you tried to use a dedicated input pin as output. There are only a few pins, that aren't suitable as outputs. As the hardware manual, pinout files and Pin Planner tool clarify, clock inputs can be still uitilzed as logic inputs.

HaHa, Thank you Guru! 

I found a document PCG-01003[1].pdf at atera's website. 

I got to change my design includes PCB layout.
