Hello. 

Can I physically (pin FPGA) use ports operator, which is used as an ingredient? 

When I use the pin planner, I see ports only main entity. How to do it? 

 

Thanks.

you can name pins the same as the ports on the top level entity. busses need to be connected by individual bits.

So, the physical pins must be declared in the main entity?

You can assign the pins to the port names on the top level entity. You dont need to call your top level ports the same as the pin names.

Nonetheless, the pins can only connect to the top level. So if you want pins to connect to a lower level you have to create ports for it on all higher levels and then map it trough the levels. As Tricky said, the names do not need to match the pin name as you can assign them to pins using the pin planner.
