Altera DE-10-Nano UART Rx and Tx in Pin Planner

Hi there, I'm doing a NIOSII tutorial but I got stuck to the UART pins assignment in the Quartus Pin Planner. Specifically I have to connect the Rx and Tx to their respective pins. Since I ha...

Hi,

I checked the schematic. Pin A22 and pin B21 are dedicated FPGA HPS pin with multiple function supported.

I know for sure you need to configure HPS IP to set the pin_mux to switch the pin function to function as UART pins but I am not sure whether do you still need to set the pin setting in Quartus Pin Planner or not.

I suggest you open any example design from DE-10 NANO board to learn how they set the pin setting accordingly.

Thanks.
