Error (14566): The Fitter cannot place for ethernet 10G IP

hi,  

1. I generate one Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP with the mode "10GBASE-R Register Mode Example Design arria 10". 

As the generated tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data pin in the IP's input/output is single-ended, I think I need to use a differential IO pin in my top design . so I insert one differential BUF for it before it is connected to the Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core. 

 

fbm_ibuf_multichan u_fbm_ibuf_multichan ( 

.dout ( rx_serial_data ), // dout.export 

.pad_in ( rx_serial_data_p ), // pad_in.export 

.pad_in_b ( rx_serial_data_n ) // pad_in_b.export 

); 

fbm_obuf_multichan u_fbm_obuf_multichan 

//input 

.pad_out_b ( tx_serial_data_n ), 

.pad_out ( tx_serial_data_p ), 

.din ( tx_serial_data ) 

); 

 

then tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data is connected to the Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core. 

 

2. I am using DEVICE 10AX115U4F45I3SGE2 

3. the pin assignments for tx_serial_data /rx_serial_data are: (BANK GXBL1E) 

set_location_assignment PIN_AN42 -to tx_serial_data_p[0] 

set_location_assignment PIN_AN38 -to rx_serial_data_p[0]  

 

 

But I meet Error in the Fitter(as shown below) 

So my question is: 

1) why the pin of tx_serial_data/rx_serial_data in the generated Low latency Ethernet 10G MAC IP core is single-ended? 

2) Is it correct to connect one differential BUF for it? 

3) How to fix this error?
