Why are my bus name wildcard assignments being ignored by the Quartus II software?

Description

In the Quartus® II software, wildcard assignments are not supported for bus names. For example, an assignment to example*_bus may not be recognized.

Resolution

To work around this issue, include [*] at the end of the bus name. For example

set_instance_assignment -name <assignment name> -to "example*_bus[*]"
