[SignalTap] How to add signals defined as "wire" in RTL?

Hi All, How can I add signals, which are defined as "wire" in RTL, to SignalTap ? Thank you!

    Well, there's your problem. It's getting optimized away. Tap the "upstream" signals that drive this or add virtual pin assignments to the signal in the Assignment Editor.

What does pix_data_in_422 connect to? Can you tap anything else ahead of this signal that drives it or whatever it feeds into?

    Actually the pix_data_in_422 signal doesn't drive any logic...

    But is there a way it will not be optimized out and be able to be added to SignalTap ? None of the synthesis directives or attributes were able to prevent it from being optimized out...
