                 Device I/O or dedicated input pins, or higher levels in the hierarchy tree  |

In a Block Design File (.bdf) Definition, you can use the Pin Properties dialog box to specify pin properties for this primitive, such as the pin name and default value.
Note: 
- Assigning an unconnected INPUT primitive to a pin number reserves the pin for future use.
 - Only the pin assignments of the top-level entity are used during compilation.
