IO Placement issue when using HPS EMIF (1SX165HN3F43E2VG)
Hello everyone,
I encountered an issue when assigning a simple GPIO to Bank M, where the HPS EMIF is connected. I would like to know whether it is possible to use I/Os on this bank while the HPS EMIF is enabled.
Everything works as expected as long as the following pin assignment is not present:
set_location_assignment PIN_P30 -to SE_IN[0]
As soon as this assignment is added, the issue occurs, where SE_IN is an INPUT.
Could you please let me know if using GPIOs on Bank M is supported when the HPS EMIF is configured?
Regards,
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
There is some restriction on Stratix 10 IO banks with HPS EMIF due to hardwired connections. I would suggest to look at this guide here

Thanks
