Assigning ( Attributing ) Pins to Variable

Question

Below is a sample code, how can I assign each of the variables to a Pin ( Switch/LED )in the FPGA.

The Altera online help wasn't very clear.

What changes will need to be made to the Code?

Will assign the pins to variables in the 'Assignment Editor' post this.

-----

entity OR_ent is

port( x: in std_logic ;

y: in std_logic ;

F: out std_logic

);

end OR_ent;

architecture OR_arch of OR_ent is

begin

process(x, y)

begin

-- compare to truth table

if ((x='0') and (y='0')) then

F <= '0';

else

F <= '1';

end if;

end process;

end OR_arch;

You'll assign physical pins to the in- and output ports, not variables. That can be done most easily in the pin planner tool.

If you are working with a development kit, you can copy the pin assignment of the example projects.

So, there is no need to change the code for it ?

Just as a note - there are no variables in your code...
