Conduits - Verilog and Quartus block sch editor

Hello all,

I believe that its possible to group a couple of dis-similar buses, and associated control lines into a single conduit. So rather than having to drag two buses and two control lines around a schematic it may be possible to use a single entity.

I will be must grateful if someone can point me at a verilog and sch example of this if indeed it is possible.

Thanks,

Mark

    In block schematic you can merge buses by separating bus names with commas in the bus name.

    For example, if you have 3 buses busA[3:0], busB[7:0], busC[1:0], drag connection from each of them to a 'backbone' bus going around the schematic.

    Then rename it as : busA[3:0],busB[7:0],busC[1:0]

    Similarly in Verilog oyu can use the {busA[3:0],busB[7:0],busC[1:0]} syntax to create a single bus
