Honored ContributorQuestion about Monitor
Hello, is it possible to synthesize the "monitors" on the altera fpgas'. There are Monitor IPs such as Avalon MM Monitor. Can I synthesize such "Monitors"?

Honored ContributorHi Aditya,
--- Quote Start --- Is there a way to switch of the "Trimming" in Quartus. The software automatically trims all pins that does not have a fan out. Can I tell the software not to do this. I tried setting the pins to virtual pins but it did not help. [Also, I could not get all the pins listed]. --- Quote End --- I'm not sure what you are talking about. Could you provide an example of pins that you would like to keep that are getting removed. Perhaps the synthesis 'keep' directive is what you need? http://quartushelp.altera.com/11.0/master.htm#mergedprojects/hdl/vlog/vlog_file_dir_keep.htm http://quartushelp.altera.com/11.0/master.htm#mergedprojects/hdl/vhdl/vhdl_file_dir_keep.htm Cheers, Dave
