Need to feed two buses with one output

Hello everybody,

In my top level design in Quartus I am trying to feed the LSB of two buses

with a signal which comes out of a block, usually I do this by naming the output signal the same name as the LSB of the bus:

lv_to_uc_status_i[0]

But I cannot name the output signal twice, so how can I tell Quartus that I need to feed two buses with this signal ?

Thanks,

Eric

    Hi Eric,

    what are you using Verilog, VHDL schematics

    Kind regards

    Hello Pletz,

    Thanks for your answer !

    I am using Schematics, in Verilog this is pretty easy actually, turns out

    this is also pretty easy in schematics. I need to feed the signal into

    2 wire buffers, on the other side of these buffers I can feed two inputs

    in the top level. See the Snagit picture I have attached below.

    Again, thanks for your answer !!

    Cheers,

    Eric
