make_connection (::quartus::eco)

Tcl Package and Version

Syntax

make_connection [-h | -help] [-long_help] [-from <output_net_name> ] -port <dest_node_port> [-tieoff <VCC|GND> ] -to <dest_node_name>

Arguments

-h | -help

Short help

-long_help

Long help with examples and possible return values

-from <output_net_name>

Source of the connection

-port <dest_node_port>

Input port name of the destination node

-tieoff <VCC|GND>

VCC or GND tieoff

-to <dest_node_name>

Name of the destination node

Description

The make_connection command will connect the source signal to the destination block port. If the 
port has an existing connection, the command will remove the previous connection
and connect it to the specified signal. 

make_connection expects 3 arguments: 
from   - output net of the source block of the new connection
tieoff - tieoff value
to     - name of the destination block
port   - the input port name of the destination block

Note that the changed path will be routed immediately. If the path contains a node that is created during
ECO compilation, then the paths will be routed after the node is placed with place_node command.

Example Usage

make_connection -from top|a_out -to top|x -port D

This example will connect top|a_out to the D input port of node top|x. 

make_connection -tieoff VCC-to top|x -port D

This example will tie the D port of node top|x to VCC, either internally or via lcell.
