Why can't I reconfigure the ALTGX instance in Stratix IV GX/GT and Arria II GX devices, when I enable both "Data Rate Division in TX" and "Channel and TX PLL select/reconfig" modes in the ALTGX_RECONFIG block?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

There is a known software issue when you enable both "Data Rate Division in TX" and "Channel and TX PLL select/reconfig" modes in the ALTGX_RECONFIG block. The channel reconfiguration will not start in both simulation and device.  This issue is associated with Stratix® IV GX/GT and Arria® II GX devices.

The current solution is to enable "illegal mode checking" in ALTGX_RECONFIG instance when both reconfiguration modes are on.  This issue will be fixed in future Quartus® II software versions.
