I am working on the integration of Lattice semiconductor IPs for image fusion. I block in the map design stage ,I get this error: ERROR - Design is empty. I do not know the cause of this error , can someone help me please.

The typical reason for this is unconnected clock, permanently assigned reset, unconnected input or output ports. When there is no reaction to the outer world (e.g. no outputs assigned) then the synthesizer comes to the conclusion that you will never see, whats inside the FPGA. And therefore all of the design is optimized away. Same with input signals: when they are not assigned to the outer world, then the synthesizer selects the value leading to the most efficient design. And then maybe most of the design is optimized away and/or truncated down to a constant value.

Thank you for your answers
I checked and found warnings like that :
port XXX remains unconnected for this instance.
I guess it is due to some ports that are not connected as you said.
I got rid of all warnings but I still have this one :
WARNING - C:/Users/Mesotic/Desktop/Fusion/csi2_2_csi2_ip.v(509,1-568,3)
(VERI-1927) port d1_p_i remains unconnected for this instance
d1_p_i is an inout port which is declared in DPHY_2_CMOS module.
I instantiated the DPHY_2_CMOS module in an other module which is called
csi_2_csi.
This is the instantiation and d1_p_i is connected to d1_ch1_p_i :

I don't now how to resolve it.
Thank you beforehand.
