Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error - Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error How do I correct this error? I do not believe I'm constraining this device as it's in the Auto Tiles. Error(14566): The Fitter cannot place 1 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints (1 HSSI_PLDADAPT_RX_CLUSTER(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.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/kdb-filter.html and search for this specific error message number. Error(175020): The Fitter cannot place logic HSSI_PLDADAPT_RX_CLUSTER in region (11, 229) to (11, 252), to which it is constrained, because there are no valid locations in the region for logic of this type.

Dotted line is the configuration in the project above resulting in the error, solid line for userclk (reference to IOPLL) from another FPGA pin works fine: Replies: Re: Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error My fault. The QAR process didn't include the text file used to initialize a rom inside the design. If you download the attached build_rom.txt and place it inside the DBE_proto folder (where the qpf/qsf are). you should be able to build the design (at least to the original problem)... Replies: Re: Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error Hi, Your design is failing at Design analysis. Error message: VHDL error at memory_loader_pkg.vhd(124): file 'f_in' is not open Replies: Re: Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error This is in Quartus Prime Version 23.4.0 Build 79 dated 11/22/2023 SC pro Edition (no patches installed) The QAR file is attached Replies: Re: Agile X Transciever Design (JESD204C + F-tile) HSSI_PLD_ADAPT_RX_CLUSTER error Hi, Thanks for contacting Intel. I'm assigned to support request. I'll investigate on this case and get back to you soon once I have any finding. Meanwhile can you please share the following info for my better understanding. What's the version of Quartus you are using? Can you share the related files so that I can compile and check for the same error? Thanks for your patience. Regards, Harsh M
