BUS TOOL Question!

Hi !

I'm using bus tool for the first time and had a bit of a problem. Lets say i have two blocks(Black A and B) consisting of 3 IO. Block A has 3 outputs as of [3..0] and Block B has 3 inputs which receives in [3..0]. So when i attach the bus how should i label it? is there a certain way?

I do know if i want to attach output pins to any bus i have to label the bus and the pins accordingly. But i'm stuck on just connecting two blocks! Please see my attachment !

Thanks !

    first of all.

    your name is OK.

    you don't need name for a bus which connected directory

    like between inst0 and inst1.

    also

    you can name them like "tmp_bus_a_b[3:0]" etc.

    the last one (Bus[0..11])

    just cut off bus and wires.

    BUS and WIRE can not be connected directory but,each line is connected by there name.

    see you.
