hard code a value?

[Altera_Forum]

Is it possible using the schematic drawings to hard code a specific value to something like a register? Quartus has a constant symbol but I'm not sure what to do with it. How do I connect it to things?

I also don't know how to use the constant symbol in a schematic. :mad: In case that you need only a single bit you can use the "gnd" or "vcc" symbol. If you need to assign a value to a bus, you can use the LPM_CONSTANT. The symbol is located under megafunctions -> gates.:)

Hello, 

 in plain HDL designs, I have constant objects in library work, that can be referenced througout the hierarchy, e. g. as a compilation switch in a VHDL generate statement or a numerical constant in arithmetics. The constant symbold probably performs similar. Or it's local to the bdf generated entity, then it could be referenced in parameter lists (generic instantiations) of subblocks.  Regards, Frank
