Due to a problem in the Quartus II software version 11.0 SP1 and earlier, designs targeting HardCopy® III and HardCopy IV devices will get the following warnings for the termination_blk0_~rup_pad
and temination_blk0_~rdn_pad
pins in the HardCopy Design Readiness Check report:
- Missing Termination Assignment
- Missing I/O Standard Assignment
When OUTPUT_TERMINATION and INPUT_TERMINATION assignments exist in the design but an OCT block is not explicitly instantiated and connected to I/O pins, the Quartus II Fitter automatically creates an OCT block and creates these pins. Even if you set I/O Standard and Input Termination assignments to these pins, the Fitter ignores these assignments because it evaluates these assignments before it creates the pins.
These warnings may safely be ignored.
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future version of Quartus II software.
