Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Transceiver-Soc Development Kit User_Led Pins assignment

Hello, I´m currently introducing myself in the use of this FPGA and i was interested in turning on one of the User_Leds with a simple verilog file using 'Quartus Prime Pro'. In the Schematic File, the Pin names of these Leds don´t appear later on, as usable in the tool called Pin Planner. I have made sure to create the project with the right device and board, and i can´t find another clues in the schematic for the names of these pins.

I was hoping, i could get help with this issue. I will attach the shematic file for this model.

Thank you very much

    You have to perform at least Analysis & Elaboration from the Processing menu in Quartus to be able to make pin assignments in the Pin Planner. Once you do that, the top-level I/O from your design will appear in the All Pins list at the bottom of the Pin Planner allowing you to create location assignments to the appropriate I/O pin.

      Hello sstrell,

      Thank you very much for your reply, the project has no issues compilating and has completed both Analysis & Elaboration processes so it is possible to make pin assignments in the Pin Planner. I was referring to the actual Pin number of these User_Leds that need to be written in the "Location" Section of the specific I/O in order to assign these with their corresponding Pin.

      I hope these screenshots will show better what i´m saying. The "Schematic" image shows the Pin number that refers to USER_LED3 (B3), but when i try to put this Pin number as the location of my Output 'Led' ("PinPlanner1" image) an error message appears ("PinPlanner2" image) and this happens with the rest of the USER_LEDs and their corresponding Pin number(USER_LED0, USER_LED1, etc...). So i´m not sure if these Pin numbers are the right ones for these LEDs.

      Thanks again, your help is much appreciated

    Hi,


    Apologize for the delay in response. I am currently reviewing this case and checking the pin assignment. Will revert back to you again.

    Hello,


    Referring to the snapshot you provided, shows the USER_LED in Bank 8 of MAX10.


    Try to change the device in Quartus to MAX10 and program it to MAX10.
