Set HPS Pins automatically

Hi,

this is maybe a stupid question, but I wonder if there is a way to let the HPS Pins been set automatically by the build tools?

I have a Cyclone V device and use the Ethernet, Uart, SPI and memory hard IP blocks of the HPS. I thought those blocks have dedicated pins. Why are those pins not set automatically to their location (in the pin planner) when I compile the design?

The result is that the fitter fails because those pins have no location.....

Thanks,

Maik

    okay, sorry, I think this is the wron toppic.

    I just saw that there is this extra column in the pin planner where the fitter placement is shown.

    But i got these strange errors that led me to the conclusion that the opins are not properly set. Because the erroro messages are so long and so many of them, i atached a txt file with those errors here.

    Can someone explain what went wrong and how I can solve this?

    Thanks,

    Maik
