does anybody know if there is a way to automatically (via a script tcl or something else) add I/O pins to a bdf? I'm looking around but don't see anything. Thanks a lot in advance.
I'm curious as to why you would want to do this i.e. creating a script in the first place requires effort and is not automatic in itself so why not simply place the pins in the bdf?
One of my favorite things is in a .bdf right-click on a symbol and Generate Pins for Symbol(or something like that). If I'm creating a test design with 2-3 components, it's often quicker to visualize the connections(especially a test you're showing to others) and I find this a great way to add them.
This is an idea, I can generate a dummy vhdl for the port definition, istantiate the related symbol in the Top bdf then right-click and "Generated pins for Symbol"
A little bit tricky but it should work. Thanks Rysc.
