Further on creative schematics:
I have used the following output pin namings for 3 separate "output pin" instances in quartus schematics (5 physical pins in total in this example):
outSignal
outSignal2
outSignal
and it
almost works.
The compiler seems to generate the correct equations, but the assignments get confused:
You can
not refer to the entire group using outSignal[4..0], and/or the Tcl reference for instance
outSignal\
breaks,,, whichever catches you first.
Anyway it apparently does not always work as expected, so maybe this is a little too creative after all.
