The Fitter cannot place 3 periphery component(s) (1 HSSI_PLD_INTERFACE(s), 2 HSSI_PMA_TX_BUF(s))

Hi,

In my design ,I have native phy 10g  transceiver which works in duplex mode .when compiled ,it ends up in this error during fitter

Error(14566): The Fitter cannot place 3 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 HSSI_PLD_INTERFACE(s), 2 HSSI_PMA_TX_BUF(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.

I have two  modules which are port mapped  to transceiver 10g,one for rx and another for tx  .I am using cyclone 10gx development board . Is there a workaround for my case or should I use rx and tx separately ?

Hi,


I am confused. Are you using duplex or simplex mode ?

  • You mentioned you used duplex mode but then there is Tx and Rx module design ?


Can you share your Quartus design QAR file then I can help you to review your fitter error better ?


Thanks.


Regards,

Deshi

Additional feedback to you.


Don't mix up duplex and simplex setting in one design else you may face functionality error later

  • Right now your design both MAC and PHY IP setting is set to duplex mode but in RTL connection, you force split it into simplex connection
  • If you want to create simplex design then pls ensure MAC and PHY IP are set to simplex mode where you should have
    • one set of MAC + PHY Tx IP design and its connection
    • another set of MAC + PHY Rx IP design and its connection


Thanks.

HI,


I hope I have clarified on the design implementation expectation for duplex and simples design


For now, I am setting this case to closure.


Thanks.
