14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I have a Cyclone III 3c120 development board and am using the terASIC Data Conversion Card on the HSMC. Is there any better way of getting the pin assignments than doing them manually one by one? --- Quote End --- Yes, you write a Tcl script to apply the pin constraints. I used to write a script called pinout.tcl that applied the pin constraints. Now I use a tcl script called constraints.tcl that applies pin and default I/O constraints. I've attached examples of the old style for the BeMicro and the new style for the BeMicro-SDK. I just haven't got around to updating the BeMicro script. I had to put the Tcl files in .zip format before I was allowed to post them. You source these files in Quartus, or in a quartus synthesis script, to apply the constraints. Cheers, Dave
