Error (329006): Some pins have illegal board trace models - Error (329006): Some pins have illegal board trace models Description Due to the global setting is not supported in Intel® Quartus Prime® Pro Edition version 18.1.1 onward, when you write the following setting in QSF i.e. set_global_assignment -name <instance name> "<section identifier>" -<value> You will receive the error as titled with sub message as below: Error (20403): Global setting for <instance name> is not supported. Please use this setting with pin assignments. Example settings which causes the error: set_global_assignment -name OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR_END_VMEAS "HALF VCCIO" -rise set_global_assignment -name OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR_END_VMEAS "HALF VCCIO" -fall set_global_assignment -name OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_FAR_END_VMEAS "HALF SIGNAL SWING" -rise set_global_assignment -name OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_FAR_END_VMEAS "HALF SIGNAL SWING" -fall <instance name> could be from the list below: OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR_END_VMEAS OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_FAR_END_VMEAS BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_PULLUP_R BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_PULLDOWN_R BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_C BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_SERIES_R BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_TLINE_C_PER_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_TLINE_L_PER_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_TLINE_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_TLINE_C_PER_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_TLINE_L_PER_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_TLINE_LENGTH BOARD_MODEL_FAR_SERIES_R BOARD_MODEL_FAR_C BOARD_MODEL_FAR_PULLUP_R BOARD_MODEL_FAR_PULLDOWN_R BOARD_MODEL_TERMINATION_V BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_SERIES_C BOARD_MODEL_NEAR_DIFFERENTIAL_R BOARD_MODEL_FAR_DIFFERENTIAL_R Resolution To avoid this problem, you must use set_instance_assignment by adding the specific instance assignment pin name instead of set_global_assignment.
