set_location_assignment PIN_H1 -to HEX0
set_location_assignment PIN_F2 -to HEX0
set_location_assignment PIN_F1 -to HEX0
set_location_assignment PIN_E2 -to HEX0
set_location_assignment PIN_E1 -to HEX1
set_location_assignment PIN_H6 -to HEX1

set_location_assignment PIN_G6 -to HEX2
set_location_assignment PIN_C2 -to HEX2
