DE4 pin assignmnet .csv file

Hello Folks,

Where can I find (or generate) pin assignment file for DE4 board? Tried Pin Planner to generate the .csv file but that only generated the pins I used in my design. I want the whole pin assignment for the board. Thanks!

Cheers,

    Unzip the example design, synthesize it, and then read the scripts to see how things work. You'll see that there is a constraints file implemented in Tcl. Learn how to use Tcl and constraints applied like this.

    The DE4 comes in a couple of varieties, eg., a 230k and 530k version. I forget which board I have ... most likely whatever the script defaults to :)

    Using Tcl scripts for managing constraints is quite universal - with very minor changes the constraints style works for Xilinx Vivado too.

    Cheers,
