« Prev | Next » Assigning Pin Numbers in Block Diagram Editor Description How do I assign device specific pin numbers to the I/O ports using the block diagram editor? I want the pin numbers to show-up on my schematics. Solution In order for it to work, you need to add attribute declarations (in addition to attribute specification) to the block diagram. Please follow these steps: Select Diagram | VHDL | Declaration for an Entity from the main menu (there is a button on the toolbar as well). Place the Entity Declaration anywhere on the diagram. Inside the Entity Declaration type: attribute LOC: string; Save the file and compile it. The errors should disappear. NOTES: This solution is supported by the Xilinx and Lattice vendors.
