In the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer, I get an error when I monitor rx_in for Megafunction Name(s) : ALTLVDS_RX (LVDS Receiver macro). The FPGA is a Stratix IV.
<error message>
Error (15118): datain port of HSDI receiver atom "rx_0" must be fed by input pin that does not feed any other logic
This is because other logic cannot be connected to the data input pin (rx_in: serial data side) of ALTLVDS_RX.
(By setting SignalTap II, other logic is connected to the data input pin)
As a workaround for this problem, it is possible to check the data without directly monitoring rx_in by sampling the data (rx_out) output from ALTLVDS_RX with the synchronous clock rx_outclock and monitoring it with SignalTap II.
