Hi, i am trying to do a pin assignment but by compile i get this Error Message: 

 

"Error: Can't place multiple pins assigned to pin location Pin_AD25 ( IOC_X95_Y2_N1) 

Info: Pin iSW[7] is assigned to pin location Pin_AD25 (IOC_X95_Y2_N1) 

Info: Pin ~LVDS195p/nCEO~ is assigned to pin location Pin_AD25 (IOC_X95_Y2_N1) 

Error: Can't fit design in device" 

 

i don't know where thie Pin LVDS195p/nCEO is defined 

 

could someone help me? 

 

Thanks

Go to the Assignments menu > Device 

Click on the "Device and Pin Options" button 

Go to the "Dual-Purpose Pins" tab 

Double click on nCEO 

Select "Use as regular I/O" 

 

By default nCEO is used as a programming pin (to chain several FPGAs during configuration). You need to tell Quartus that you want to use this pin as an I/O instead.

Probably you defined an I/O differential standard (i.e.LVDS) on another pin which would need AD25 as its complementary. 

Check pin assignment or in assignement editor for any reference to AD25 and to its complementary pin (LVDS195n, refer to your device datasheet)
