ID:24230 Partition "<partition_descendant>" ("<inst_name_descendant>") cannot be marked EMPTY while parent or ancestor partition "<partition_ancestor>" ("<inst_name_ancestor>") is imported as a Partition Database File. To fix this error, remove the EMPTY assignment on partition "<partition_descendant>" or remove the Partition Database File (QDB_FILE_PARTITION assignment) on the parent or ancestor partition "<partition_ancestor>".

CAUSE: A partition has an EMPTY assignment, while its parent or ancestor partition has a QDB_FILE_PARTITION assignment.

ACTION: Remove either the EMPTY assignment of the partition or the QDB_FILE_PARTITION assignment of the parent or ancestor partition in the Quartus Setting File.
