Due to a problem in the Quartus® II software version 12.1 and later, you might see this internal error if you have multiple inputs of the rx_cdr_refclk port on the Stratix® V Native PHY connected to the same refclk pin.
For example, this error might occur if ports rx_cdr_refclk(0) and rx_cdr_refclk(1) are both connected to pin refclk1.
To avoid this problem, connect each clock input of the CDR PLL to its own refclk pin.
This problem is fixed starting with the Quartus® II software version 13.0.
