Error (20181) The permit_cal input of IOPLL <downstream PLL> is not connected correctly. - Error (20181) The permit_cal input of IOPLL <downstream PLL> is not connected correctly. Description In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.0 Update 1, you may see this error message when compiling an Intel Stratix® 10 design with cascaded PLLs. This error message is new in version 18.0 Update 1 and results from a new legality check to prevent downstream PLLs from being calibrated when the upstream PLL has failed calibration. Error (20181) The permit_cal input of IOPLL <downstream PLL> is not connected correctly. The permit_cal port of downstream IOPLL <downstream PLL> should be exported using the IOPLL IP Parameter Editor and connected to the locked output of upstream IOPLL <upstream PLL> Resolution To avoid this error, ensure that the downstream PLL's 'permit_cal' input port is exposed by checking 'Connect to an upstream PLL through Core Clock Network Cascading (create a permit_cal Input signal)' in the Parameter Editor GUI for the PLL and this port is connected to the locked port of the upstream PLL.
