DE10-Nano mix GPIO I/O directions

Hi Sstrell,

I think I'm getting it now. My mistake is in thinking Fitter or some other auto-mechanism would assign pins for me if I gave them "System Recognizable Names" in the schematic and/or the .v. I see now that this is not the case; I can name them whatever and then manually assign them in Pin Planner to connect them to GPIO_1, right?

Yes, it's All Pins List.

No, not using Project Template, just the .v, which is included in an earlier post above.

I'd really appreciate your confirmation that I now have this right or correction if I don't. Regardless, I plan to close the case after hearing from you and greatly appreciate you staying with me on it. Fact is, this was supposed to just be an easy test of some of my design approaches. The system I'm working toward will have much more than can be handled with the GPIOs and will require me to implement an I2C with Bus Expanders (MCP23017).

Thanks,

Bill
