Honored Contributorcomponent input or output pin assignment
i have a component in my program (named fsm) that gives integers as outputs to another component (named pwm) which takes them as inputs. should i assign pins to these integers or that is done interna...

Honored ContributorHi Nada,
If I understand it correctly, you are just trying to connect instances created using FPGA core logic together but does not require any external signal coming out from the FPGA device. As mentioned by PietervanderStar, you could directly do the connection in VHDL or Verilog coding without going through any pin assignment. To add on, if you are using Quartus block diagram to create your design, you could just tie these ports using wires. Note that only those signals that you would like to export out from the FPGA device or import into FPGA from outside device require IO pin assignments. Hope this helps.
