How can change pin from pin950 to pin360

[nawaf7]

Hi
I have a problem I hope you solve it as you know I use quartus and our project is about artificial intelligence but the problem is that the code used in this project works on pin950 while the board we use DE-10LITE only works on pin360 so every time I click on (run ) It appears in the notes box below the word (error) and then tells me that the number of pins used in the code is not compatible with the number of pins on the board we are using

Is there a way to solve this problem, what changes should I put in the code in general... Please what is the solution to this problem I have been searching for a long time for a solution to this problem but to no avail

Hi,

Typically, the target device in Quartus should have enough number of pins such that all the top level I/Os can be mapped to a pin of the device. So, the only solution for it to work on DE10 Lite board, is to reduce the number of I/Os. Else, go for a different dev kit with a device having 960 I/O pins.

I know about this, but the problem I have is how do I make this change, what do I have to do with the code, what are the things that should be deleted from the code and the things that should remain....Do you have any idea about this...Is there an article or anything that gives me a clear idea What do I change or remove from the code?

How many I/O pins does your design require?  If it's more than are available in the device, you either have to simplify your design so it uses fewer I/O or use a larger device.  It's kind of beyond the scope of a forum to help you in deciding what to remove or change in your design to make this happen (though an Intel employee on here may ask you to post a .qar of your project to try to assist).  As for the locations of the I/O itself, you use the Pin Planner from the Assignments menu in Quartus to assign pins to the appropriate locations.  Since this is a dev kit, you'd have to reference the dev kit's user guide to see how the pins are connected to devices on the board to make the correct connections.

The number of I/O pins that my project needs is 360 while the number of pins in the code I am using is 950, so what should I change in the code so that I can make this code work on 360 pins.... I will attach the code in this message:

Hi,

From your code, the pins required are 960+16 = 976 pins. Clearly it cannot fit into a device with 360 pins only. The change to the code is totally dependent on the user application. What is required to be done with the input pins and how the outputs are required to be driven and how many, totally user decision.

We cannot directly suggest you the changes to be done. You got to discuss this with your project lead.

One way would be probably to get these 960 inputs through a processor register interface. This is just a personal suggestion.

Recommend you to subscribe to Intel FPGA YouTube channel for accessing various training videos.
