Conduits, in general

Hello! I am relatively new to FPGA-SoC system design, and especially Quartus Prime + Platform Designer (formerly Qsys). I have a conceptual question about conduits. From reading Intel documentation...

Avalon doesn't have LED0, LED1, etc. signals. So you need an IP, like the PIO, to output a conduit to light the LEDs based on data written to the IP over Avalon from something like the HPS.

I'm not quite picturing your example, but conduits, in most cases, are simply exported out of a system. You would not normally connect them to other conduit interfaces on other components inside the system.

Hope that helps.
