Adding output signals to DSP Builder exp conduit

I need to modify the input and output signals of my DSP builder component that are available under the exp conduit in Qsys. I currently have a single bool input and a single bool output. 

 

When I add a new output in Simulink and rebuild, it doesn't show inside Qsys (I've tried bool and uint(32)). The system is updating (If I remove the existing output it no longer shows in Qsys).  

 

Is there an additional step or setting to control the input and output signals? :confused:

I created a new project to test this. The signals appear to get added automatically. Something is up with my main project which is preventing new signals from showing in Qsys. I'll post an update when I figure this out.

Solved! Not sure exactly what causes this, but you cannot use constant values as outputs in DSP builder. They must be getting optimized out. If the signal is driven by logic, it will show in Qsys when you compile and refresh.
