You may see this error in the Quartus® II software versions 13.1 and later, when implementing the ALTLVDS_RX IP with external Altera_PLL and Dynamic Phase Alignment (DPA) enabled with more than 2 channels, in Arria® V devices.
To work around this, firstly complete the steps for implementing ALTLVDS_RX and ALTLVDS_TX with external PLL mode as described in the related solutions.
Then, after running Analysis and Synthesis in the Quartus II software, copy the lvds_rx_lvds_rx module from the contents of the file db/lvds_rx_lvds_rx.v into the lvds_rx.v file.
This will add the module lvds_rx_lvds_rx into the lvds_rx.v file.
Make sure all occurrences of rx_dpaclock is 8 bits and all connections of rx_dpaclock are correct as well, for example,
.dpaclkin(rx_dpaclock),
instead of:
.dpaclkin({8{rx_dpaclock}}),
The problem will be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.
