Why is the PCI Express to DDR2 for Arria® II GX reference design given by Intel not compiling successfully?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

The following error might appear during the fitter stage when compiling the PCIe to DDR2 for Arria® II GX reference design:

Error (176623): The source driving the following ports must be the same

This issue exists in Intel® Quartus® software and IP version 10.1 and above.

Resolution

To resolve the error, you need to modify file ddr2_sodium_x64_phy_alt_mem_phy.v

Find "sreset" signal in module arriaii_ddio_in instantiation:

Change:

arriaii_ddio_in ddio_mimic(
    .datain     (fb_clk),
    .clk        (measure_clk_2x),
    .clkn       (),
    // synopsys translate_off
    .devclrn(),
    .devpor(),
   // synopsys translate_on
    .ena        (1\'b1),
    .areset     (1\'b0),
    .sreset     (1\'b0),
    .regoutlo   (),
    .regouthi   (mimic_data_2x),
    .dfflo      ()
);

To

arriaii_ddio_in ddio_mimic(
    .datain     (fb_clk),
    .clk        (measure_clk_2x),
    .clkn       (),
    // synopsys translate_off
    .devclrn(),
    .devpor(),
   // synopsys translate_on
    .ena        (1\'b1),
    .areset     (1\'b0),
    .sreset     (seq_clk_disable || ctrl_clk_disable[1]),
    .regoutlo   (),
    .regouthi   (mimic_data_2x),
    .dfflo      ()
);
