Hi-
I use 10 Tranceiver PHY. ←(Tx only, Simplex)
Tranceiver PHY 10 is OK.
But there is an error when adding one more.
I use following IP component
10 Tanceiver PHY, +
10 Tanceiver Reset, +
8 fpll +2 CMU pll
and add 1 Tanceiver PHY + 1 Tanceiver Reset + 1 Tanceiver CMU pll
How do you fix it?
Error message is below..

Hi Sir
To further troubleshoot the compilation/fitting error, can you please attach your Quartus project (.qar)?

Hi skbeh
This is Quartus 18.0 Pro
ePI_Top.v
// XCVR Interface 11
Add 470~510 Line
and
//epi_data #10
Add 661~669 Line
So, Error Occur
ps.gxb_ref_clk1 ~ 11 is open

Hi Sir
Within the same transceiver bank, only transceiver channel 1 or channel 4 can be used as CMU PLL, channels 0, 2, 3, and 5 cannot be configured as a CMU PLL.
So make sure either channel 1 or channel 4 is being used as CMU PLL.
When you added 1 Tranceiver PHY + 1 Tranceiver Reset + 1 Tranceiver CMU pll, make sure the '1 Tranceiver PHY' and '1 Tranceiver CMU pll' are within the same transceiver bank.
Alternatively, you can try add ATX PLL instead of CMU PLL, and enable the xN non-bonded clock output port in the ATX PLL GUI (under Master Clock Generation Block tab) if you use the ATX PLL to drive transceivers beyond a single 6-pack.

Hi skbeh
Yes, of course!
I have written
-------------------------
No Success!
8 fpll + 3 atx pll
-------------------------
Like you said, I used "atx pll", so result Fail
and ..
Where to connect mcgb_serial_clk?

Hi Sir
I can't duplicate the fitter error as you describe earlier due to your design used absolute path to some .mif file, the compilation fail at the very beginning and not yet reach the fitter error stage. Can you edit/change your design about the absolute path and re-attach?
In between,
1) In Pin Planner, I noticed only gxb_ref_clk0/1/2/3 being assigned to a pin, but in ePI_Top.v got additional gxb_ref_clk4-10 not being assigned. Pls try
a) share the gxb_ref_clk0 to all transceiver channels in the same Bank 1C
b) share the gxb_ref_clk1 to all transceiver channels in the same Bank 1D
c) share the gxb_ref_clk2 to all transceiver channels in the same Bank 1E
d) share the gxb_ref_clk3 to all transceiver channels in the same Bank 1F
2) In the Transceiver Native PHY IP GUI, try change the 'channel bonding mode' to 'Not bonded'

Hi skbeh
1) gxb_ref_clk0~11 all pin is opened
Only the pin assignment in the "ePI_Top.v" did that.
It is open outside the FPGA
2) How to add a file with an absolute path?
including mif file directory is below
drives\D\EPI_TX\DISPLAY_99232_341_682_WITH_ADC_EPI_211116\src\lock_rom\lock_rom.hex

To pass the compilation of this project:
1) In the Transceiver Native PHY IP GUI, change the 'Tx channel bonding mode' to 'Not bonded'
2) Comment out tx_bonding_clocks_phy1 until tx_bonding_clocks_phy11 at ePI_Top.v
//.tx_bonding_clocks (tx_bonding_clocks_phy1),
...
...
//.tx_bonding_clocks (tx_bonding_clocks_phy11),
3) gxb_ref_clk4-7 is undefined in ePI_Top.v, add below line.
input wire gxb_ref_clk4,gxb_ref_clk5,gxb_ref_clk6,gxb_ref_clk7,
Attached is the simplify version of this project.

Hi- skbeh
Thank you for your interest.
I solved this problem.
I got a hint from the sample files on the page of Angelica_S_Intel
"Arria10 Transceiver PHY Basic Design Examples"
All 24 ports are working fine.
Thank you again for your interest.
Thanks!
