Why can't I use the x1 line to clock Arria V device transceiver channels higher than 6.5536 Gbps within a transceiver bank but across a triplet boundary when using Quartus II software version 15.0.1 and earlier?

Environment

  • Clock
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a bug in Quartus® II software version 15.0 Update 1 and earlier, the Fitter will prevent you from clocking Arria® V device transceiver channels higher than 6.5536 Gbps within a transceiver bank but across a triplet boundary.

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, you can install the Quartus II software version 15.0 Update 1 and then download and install patch 1.07 from the links below.

    This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.
