Conduit signal to control external LEDs; some signal has been "copied"

I want to create custom component that controls 10 LEDs on DE10-Lite board. When I tried to create conduit signal named "conduit_ledr" for output, signal named ​"conduit_ledr1" for input suddenly ap...

    Hello Blee15,

    Can you tell us a bit more about what exaclty you are trying to do?

    Is your objective to get a led blinking as a first step or are you looking to make a custom Nios component?

    If you want to make a blinking LED, you can use a PIO (Parallel I/O) component in nios, export the "external connection" ports and then connect these signals to your DE0-LED's in verilog or VHDL where you instantiate your Nios design.

    Best Regards,

    Johi.
