ETDFX_BAD_DOT

Symbolic name <name> cannot have port

CAUSE: In a Text Design File (.tdf), you used a period (.) and port name with the specified symbolic name in the Logic Section, but you did not define the symbolic name as a megafunction, macrofunction, or primitive in an Instance Declaration or in-line logic function reference, or as a state machine in a State Machine Declaration. When you use a period and a port name with a symbolic name, the symbolic name must name a state machine or an instance of a megafunction, macrofunction, or primitive because only these items have ports.

ACTION:

Perform one of the following actions:

Define the symbolic name as an instance of an Altera-provided parameterized megafunction.
Define the symbolic name as an instance of an Altera-provided unparameterized megafunction, macrofunction, or primitive.
Define the symbolic name as an instance of a custom megafunction or macrofunction.
Define the symbolic name as a state machine.
Remove the period and port name from the symbolic name.
Change the symbolic name to an existing symbolic name for a state machine or an existing instance of a megafunction, macrofunction, or primitive.
