Yes No question (Using FPGA as a wire)

1-Can I use FPGA, just as a wire, to carry a bidirectional line like I2C SDA from one pin of the FPGA to the other pin of the FPGA. In the FPGA there will not be an i2c master or slave it will just r...

Can I do this in two steps?

1- Implement two SDA buffers, one on the left side and one on the right side like normal i2c SDA connection method.

2- Make another block (vhdl/verilog code) that gets SDAs from left side and right side and handles it in a way that my purpose fulfils.

==============================

extra information:

-There is only one master on the left side and

-There is only one slave on the right side.

-Both of them ofc can pull down SDA line.
