7 years ago --- Quote Start --- Not sure I understand the question. You select pin location assignments yourself. The code has nothing to do with it (unless you put pin assignments directly in your code using attributes). Can you explain a little more about what is going on? --- Quote End --- I think I figured out the problem, but not a solution. I'm using a project for another board that has 3 buttons. I only have two, but I have 4 slide switches. I planned to use one of the slide switches for my input for the missing button. Problem seems to be the manual gives me the location for SW0 as Y24, which I set up in my pin planner. However, I now realize pin Y24 is for a clock output. Explains why my design is not working. So, I'm not sure which pin is the correct one for SW0. I downloaded the pin file for my fpga from Intel, but it is Greek to me. They list 5 MSEL locations (hoping), but it will not let me use that pin. I have a Cyclone V, 5CSEBA6U23I7NDK. I attached 2 png files to show how I cam to my conclusion.
