Routing HPS gpio to an LED in FPGA region

[Altera_Forum]

Hi 

 Is it possible to route an HPS gpio to an LED in FPGA region in arria 10 soc development kit? If possible please give information to do the same as I couldn't find settings to route HPS gpio  to FPGA. Thank you.

Hi, I assume you mean you want to expose the interface of the HPS GPIO controller to the FPGA fabric, and then connect an FPGA pin to be directly toggled by the GPIO. As far as I know, you can't do this for Arria 10 (this can be done in Cyclone V). 

 One way to overcome this is to generate an PIO IP in the FPGA, and connect that IP to the LWH2F bridge. The drivers (linux and baremetal) for this IP is readily available.

Thanks for your reply. Are there LEDs on HPS which can be toggled by HPS GPIO or any other interface?

The Arria 10 SoC development kit has 4 HPS LEDs that can be toggled by the GPIO controller (Pin B4, B5, E6, D6)

Hi 

 I have a further question. There is no direct settings I can do to map HPS GPIO to particulart HPS LED on arria 10 soc development kit. So can I modify the .qsf file? or is there any other way which I can go for.
