13.17.4 Making Connections using the Grid

To make connections between ports on two instances:

  1. Click in the intersection between the port (row) and the instance (column). SmartDesign displays a drop-down list of compatible ports from the instance on the column area.
  2. Select the desired port to make the connection. In the figure below, the port SYS_RESET from the instance Top is being connected to port Aclr in the instance Count8_0. Note that the unconnected ports are shown in white.
