18 years agoLoading Pin Assignments
Does anyone know how to load pin assignments from a .xls spread sheet into Quatrus II? I know it can be done, I've seen it done, but can't remember how it was done.:cool: Thank you in advanced...

17 years agoI found two examples from the web that I thought I would share on the CSV format. IMO the CSV format is the easiest format to generate when you already have a list of pin assignments. I realize the QSF probably is good for some things, but its seems like an overly wordy format for pin assignments. And any Alteraians reading this=> Add a few lines of examples in the help file would be really helpful.
EXAMPLE1: To,Location dataa[0],PIN_D3 dataa[1],PIN_C2 dataa[2],PIN_D2 dataa[3],PIN_D1 dataa[4],PIN_G6 dataa[5],PIN_G5 dataa[6],PIN_E3 dataa[7],PIN_F3 datab[0],PIN_J3 datab[1],PIN_G2 datab[2],PIN_G1 datab[3],PIN_K2 datab[4],PIN_K1 datab[5],PIN_K4 datab[6],PIN_K3 datab[7],PIN_L4 rdaddress[0],PIN_E1 rdaddress[1],PIN_F2 rdaddress[2],PIN_F1 rdaddress[3],PIN_H5 rdaddress[4],PIN_J4 wraddress[0],PIN_H6 wraddress[1],PIN_G4 wraddress[2],PIN_G3 wraddress[3],PIN_H4 wraddress[4],PIN_H3 wren,PIN_F5 EXAMPLE2: From,To,Assignment Name,Value,Enabled *,adsc_n_to_the_ext_ssram,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,bwe_n_to_the_ext_ssram,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,chipenable1_n_to_the_ext_ssram,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,ext_ssram_bus_data,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,ext_ssram_bus_data,tsu Requirement,6 ns,Yes *,outputenable_n_to_the_ext_ssram,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,ext_ssram_bus_address,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes *,bw_n_to_the_ext_ssram,tco Requirement,3.3 ns,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[2],Location,PIN_G5,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[3],Location,PIN_G6,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[4],Location,PIN_C2,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[5],Location,PIN_C3,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[6],Location,PIN_B2,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[7],Location,PIN_B3,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[8],Location,PIN_L9,Yes ,ext_ssram_bus_address[9],Location,PIN_F7,Yes
