16 years agoHello!
Here we go for another question. I am writing a tutorial for a design from scratch, which is a good way to learn myself. What I did: - Create an empty project; - Configured the right parameters (for the device of the NEEK = EP3C25324C8). - Opened the SOPC builder, left the default verilog checked, added a NIOS processor (just in case, I started with the smallest model). - Added some internal memory and set the memory2_0.s1 at a proper value to eliminate errors. The generation went fine, without errors or warnings. (No PIO yet, I just want to check if the processor can run). - As the top object (forgive the improper terms if any) was the default "MyFirstFPGA" and the SOPC design was called niostest, I checked niostest_inst.v, and wrote MyFirstFPGA.v accordingly. - Now, I am stuck at the last step. I wanted to use Pin Planner to add a clock and a reset. I could first add the clock, but I cannot change the direction to input. So that will be the only accurate question for today: how do I change the direction of a pin in Pin Planner? I tried right-click -> Pin Properties, right-click->node properties, no way to produce any effect. Beside this, if there is something wrong in what I did, please tell me! Thanks for your help! Pascal
