fpgapins

fpga pins are deactivated


I have been developing an IP and it was working just fine until I used it in a project.

After that two of fpga's output pins didn't work at all ! After some investigations I just realized that, in design summary these two pins reported under reg(s), valued ''off''. I think that somehow these two pins switched off.

Can anyone tell me how can I switch a pin off and on, and what makes it behave that way?

These pins are doing a simple job just turning a led on and off and they are working fine when I am testing IP, and just in the bigger project switched off.

Solution

  • The "OFF" in Reg (s) column doesn't mean that pin is turned off.

    It means that the IOB is configured to use "Output Flip Flop" :)

    Other modes might include IFF, ODDR, ENFF, etc.
